DC Consumers Turn to Local Farms as Cyclospora Concerns Rise

Rising cyclospora/cyclosporiasis concerns across the U.S. drive more DC-area shoppers to buy locally from farms and markets like Kinship Gardens and The People’s Market. With a record number of cases in more than 30 states and an outbreak linked to shredded iceberg lettuce from Taco Bell in five states, health officials are urging consumers to source produce from trusted local suppliers while the FDA investigates. Local vendors report growing demand, highlighting the safety and freshness of nearby farms and delivery networks, including upcoming markets such as Black + Forth in Northeast DC.

The Healthiest Summer Ice Cream Option.

The healthiest ice cream is one with the fewest ingredients, such as milk, cream, sugar, and flavoring. Local ice cream shops often create their products from locally sourced ingredients, which can limit intake of highly processed foods and contribute to a higher quality diet. Ice cream has a high sugar content, so moderation is key. Healthy, low-calorie ice cream pints may contain sugar alcohol, which can have adverse effects for those with digestive complications or IBS. Non-dairy ice creams are a great option for lactose or dairy-intolerant individuals or vegans, but they're not inherently healthier. Frozen yogurt may be lower in calories, but it's often packed with more added sugar than normal ice cream.
