Wellness Market Day
Join us for a celebration of movement, creativity, and community!
Wellness Market Days are a once-monthly gathering at The Well at Oxon Run, DC Greens’ community farm in Ward 8. Market Days offer a variety of free wellness programs and activations for participants of all ages. Programs focus on food and nutrition, social connnection, environmental education, exercise and movement, herbalism, and art.
Volunteer hours also run from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for those who prefer a tactile way to give back in order to fuel their wellness journeys. Volunteers will have the opportunity to help with seasonal farm tasks, harvesting, and even take some local produce home!
DC Greens is excited to welcome our partners who join us at every Wellness Market Day, bringing additional experiences for all our participants.
