Warmer temperatures and longer days mean your neighborhood Greenmarket is open, or is soon to be, for the season.
By the end of June, 44 Greenmarket farmers markets will be open and selling healthy, fresh, and local food to New Yorkers in all five boroughs. July will bring even more Greenmarkets, 10 Youthmarket farm stands, and a Wholesale Greenmarket.
GrowNYC recently formed a partnership with Wagner Middle School in Manhattan called Healthy Kids, Healthy Schools, funded by NYC Council Member Jessica Lappin. Under one roof, we are providing support from five GrowNYC programs: Learn It Grow It Eat It, Grow to Learn NYC, Greenmarket Youth Education, Recycling Champions and Environmental Education.
For an entire year, GrowNYC staff will educate young people about leading lives that improve their personal health and that of the environment around them--so that eating, growing, learning, and going green becomes second nature.
The average New Yorker tosses 46 pounds of clothing and other textiles in the trash each year. Since 2007, GrowNYC has worked to provide weekly collections for clothing, linens and more at select Greenmarkets and at one-time special community events. Your donations have added up and kept more than two million pounds of material out of the landfill. Don’t trash those unwanted ties, towels and togas! 16 drop-off sites are open now, with more on the way.
