Union Kitchen, a local D.C. incubator for small food businesses, is teaming up with Union Market to make gift-giving easy this year. Through Christmas Eve, you can find curated selections from local producers at the food incubator's pop up space in Union Market.
The collaboration marries Union Kitchen members and Union Market vendors to offer five gift boxes, with themes like The Cheesemonger, The Bartender and The Barista. The boxes range from $45 to $125 and combine food and household goods from over a dozen local businesses. The Union Market pop up will be in the front of the market near the Rappahanock Oyster Bar, and is open Thursdays-Sundays from 11am-7pm. You can also find the gift boxes at Union Kitchen Grocery on the Hill.
