Originally opened on Saturdays in 2003 in a nearby school yard, in 2007 this market moved to its current location and changed to Sunday to better accommodate the community.  With strong support and a loyal customer base, this market has grown to be the premiere shopping destination for Cortelyou residents.  Get your specialty vegetables and herbs from Amantai Farm, beautiful plants and flowers from Hodgson’s Farm, eggs, chicken and pasta from Knoll Krest Farms, Muddy River Farm’s vegetables from Orange County’s black dirt region, Red Jacket Orchards fresh fruit and juices, fresh fish from Gill’s Seafood, Madura Mushrooms, grass-fed beef from Ledge Rock Farm, and award winning Consider Bardwell cheeses.  New this year are scrumptious berries from Fantasy Fruit Farm.

Allison Whaley grew up in Kentucky, surrounded by tobacco fields and horse farms, where she used to sneak onto neighboring plantations to play in musty barns (and was shot at only once).Growing up, farmers markets were the norm. After teaching organic gardening skills as a Peace Corps Volunteer in South America, Allison moved to the Big Apple, baffling friends and family by landing a job that fuses her nostalgic Kentucky past with her Peace Corps experiences. Find Allison in one of her Brooklyn Greenmarkets, and you’ll find a girl who could not be happier.
