While several of the farmers attend on both Thursday and Sunday, each day has its own distinct character. Thursday’s market thrives on the bustle of the work and school day schedule, while Sundays are more laid back and neighbors come out to do serious shopping.  Shoppers will find milk and yogurt, fruit, cider, baked goods, preserved fruits and vegetables, eggs, cheese, smoked meats, pickled vegetables, maple syrup, honey, fish, and focaccia topped with locally sourced fruit, vegetables, herbs and cheeses, a lunch time favorite.

Managers

Kelly likes to cook and eat.  Even more so, she likes sharing food with people. Kelly's love for good food and community combined with a culinary business degree led to many years of planning events and cooking for a sustainable catering company in Louisville, KY, which sources from local farms. Sometimes a farmer would drop by with a pint of berries still warm from the sun or wildflowers for the common table. This what Kelly loves about food - the thoughtfulness behind it and the way it connects us. When she moved to NYC, she worked as a chef in Brooklyn and volunteered with GrowNYC, where she discovered the joys of the Greenmarkets.   

 

For Ashley Rafalow, what began as the unauthorized sampling of fruit at the supermarket as a toddler has grown into a passion for food, wellness and the greater good. Ashley still loves the experience of food shopping and in particular, how Greenmarkets bring folks together to meet, greet, taste, exchange, nibble and explore. Building upon a background in communications and volunteer experience at Foodlink and Just Food, Ashley is currently pursuing a master's of Public Health Nutrition at Hunter College. She hopes to carry on the momentum of the food movement to achieve large and small social and political change, one bite at a time. Where better to start than at the market?
