Market Info

At what other market can you do all your food shopping, sample local wine, check out a book at the Brooklyn Public Library, go the Brooklyn Museum, or take a walk in Prospect Park or the Brooklyn Botanic Garden? Grand Army Plaza, open since 1989, is our flagship Brooklyn market (our second largest following Union Square.)  Located at the northwest entrance to beautiful Prospect Park, this destination market brings together a diverse mix of shoppers from the Park Slope, Prospect Heights and Crown Heights neighborhoods. Runners, dog-walkers, families, singles and foodies, all converge to buy from the huge array of farm fresh products and participate in the free events taking place every Saturday all year long.

Managers

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.

Heather Rubi moved from fighting Wyoming wildfires and working with Greenpeace to join the farmer-loving crew of Greenmarket. As a Minnesota native, she spent summers working on her family's farm, and can drive a tractor and chop wood with the best of them. Heather hopes that the insight and experience gained here at Greenmarket will help her one day run her own farm in the North Woods.

Sarah Rose Leonard grew up in Berkeley, California where she developed her picky I’ll-only-eat-fresh-produce taste buds.  Sarah also thanks her Berkeley upbringing for her interest in sustainable agriculture and OCD recycling tendencies.  Sarah also does a lot of theatre, goes to yoga a lot, will swim in the ocean no matter what the temperature is, enjoys hiking and is a semi-vegan.  She graduated from NYU with a B.F.A. in Theatre and was the Literary Resident at Playwrights Horizons last year.  If you bring her raspberries and quality chocolate chip vegan cookies she will love you forever.
