Welcome to our story...we really look forward to you becoming a part of it!!

1994 was a banner year for us (Lisa and Zeke). We met, got married, started a business all in one year. The business idea sprouted one day when we went shopping at our local grocery store in Dupont Circle and decided that we were tired of buying "tired" produce and thought there were probably many others who felt the same way. We both were in the restaurant business at the time, Lisa as a chef and Zeke in an owner-partnership, and we knew that there was better produce available then what was making it to the grocery stores. Voila...the birth of Washington's Green Grocer!!

We plunged right in and have never looked back on our "old" careers. Fast forward 15 years and here we are with two terrific kids, Lily 10 and Enzo 7, as well as  Loki, our beloved 13 year old Border Collie, and two turtles referred to by all as "the turts" who live in a tank on our kitchen counter soaking up the sun and the family goings-on.  

We really do look at our clients as our WGG Family as so many of you have been with us from the very beginning.  We love hearing your news of new partnerships, new babies, new jobs, new adventures and LOVE that you share all of this with us and make us part of your lives as well. 

Over the years we have attracted a wonderful group of employees and although many of you may only meet a few of us, we're all working together to make sure that your Washington's Green Grocer experience is a great one!  

Our priority and focus has always been to provide excellent quality produce and locally produced products as well as stellar customer service to every customer while helping to grow, support and encourage sustainable local agriculture.

We encourage you to visit our Resources page to learn more about sustainable agriculture and how it benefits the environment, your health and the local economy. Also, sign up for our blog so that we can keep you alert of actions you may want to take so that you too can help support and grow a sustainable future!
