NEW YORK CITY | The Union Square Greenmarket started in 1976 with just a few farmers and has grown to become one of New York City’s largest farmers markets. Open all year round, the market sees up to 140 regional farmers, fishers, and bakers showcase their wares. Expect things like fresh fruits and vegetables, heritage meats farmstead cheeses, artisan breads, jams, pickles, cut flowers and plants, wine, ciders, maple syrup and more.
Much of the produce is organic or naturally-grown, and all of it is local. Being able to sell direct to customers has allowed many of New York’s smaller farms to stay in business, and many will take pre-orders if you give them a week’s notice about a particular kind of produce, fish, and meat, or a specific cut.
It’s not just the produce that’s on offer here either. Union Square Greenmarket hosts a variety of events like cooking demonstrations, interactive displays, tastings, and book signings. Check out their website for details on what’s on when you’re planning to visit.
Finally, as a great gesture, several vendors donate the day’s unsold produce to City Harvest, which directs food donations to food pantries and soup kitchens across New York City.
