Fresh chervil in DC metro area

Help! Have been looking everywhere for fresh chervil to no avail. Also, most stores no longer even sell dried chervil. Any idea?

    I've NEVER seen fresh Chervil for sale ANYWHERE. And probably for good reason since it's extremely fragile & delicate. Wilts after picking if you just look at it. Which is why I simply grow it myself. It's easy to grow - even in a container.

    As far as dried Chervil. There's a reason why you can't locate it. While it dries easily, the scent & flavor of dried Chervil is completely worthless. Similar to dried lawn clippings.

      I've seen it at Eastern Market - but not recently.
