For seven years, Toyin Alli, the chef and proprietor of the Washington D.C. food truck Puddin’, has applied for a coveted spot at the year-round Dupont Circle farmers market, the largest and most profitable location in the city. It’s the kind of place, vendors say, where farmers can make two months of revenue in a single morning. And it’s the kind of place, Alli says, where only one vendor is Black-owned. Alli and other food producers say that Freshfarm, the company that runs the market, has repeatedly denied black farmers and vendors a spot at the market—and now they’re trying to understand why. “Enough is enough,” she tells Forbes. “What criteria are you using to choose her over me?”
