DC neighborhood recommendations? Where do the artisanal-jerky-making hipsters live?

Not many like this in DC. Sigh.

Hey, I know them! They live in Columbia Heights!!

(Well, I don't know where they buy their clothes. And they tend to the 1.5 kids instead of 2.5. But seriously, tons of families with this vibe.)

DC neighborhood where I would be most likely to find someone who looks like this: Shaw.

But Three Little Pigs is in Petworth.

Admittedly, the dude who does all the butchering looks more like a former lacrosse player, but if you want artisanal jerky... and pate, and sausage, and smoked trout...

American Apparel? Puh-lease! Actual hipsters and their groovy baby boomer parents in Takoma Park shop at Value Village.

Maybe they live in Columbia Heights, but they are at the Big Bear Café and the Bloomingdale Farmers Market every week. I'd guess they actually live in Bloomingdale.

The only 5 person hipster families I see looking like that are all trust fund babies. Esp in Brooklyn.

+1 for the likelyhood of seeingnthese folk at Big Bear and associated Farmers market on 1st and Florida.

OP if it makes you feel better I live in U st and our neighbor makes artisinal pickles.

If you make it yourself, isn't it inherently artisinal (unless you're using a Pioneer Woman recipe or something)? Or do you have to be a professional?

They raise chickens in their backyards in Annapolis. That should count as soooooo cool!

As I understand it, you have to be a professional. I make a great Pineapple Upside down Cake, but I would never consider it artisanal.

There is a great artisanal meat place in Petworth on Georgia Ave. They make amazing chorizo. I forget the name though. Most artisinal businesses seem to be in the Petworth and Colombia Heights neighborhoods. The creatives in DC tend to migrate to those areas.

Three little Pigs -- it's already been mentioned upthread.


They tend to move to those areas because the rents are butt-crack cheap compared to Dupont or Cleveland Park or Gallery Place. You can't make $7.000 a month rent selling salami -- er, sal-U-mi, sorry -- for $5 a log.

$5? No more like double and triple that

Artisinal = fancy name for handmade in small batches, expensive.

If DC hipsters and creatives are supposedly "poor" how do they afford the artisanal food?
