Located on 48th Avenue at the corner of Vernon Blvd in Long Island City, this Greenmarket is the perfect place for residents to stock-up on a bounty of fresh locally grown produce. This season the market we will be open on Wednesdays at 8am so that the neighborhood can start the day with freshly baked muffins, danishes and other baked goods, and will stay open until 6pm so residents can do their weekly shopping on their way home from work.
In addition to juices and just-picked fruits and berries from Red Jacket Orchards and Breezy Hill Orchards, we also have fresh pasta and eggs from Knoll Krest Farm and baked goods from Meredith’s Bakery. New this season is fresh fish and seafood from Long Island's Pura Vida Fisheries and a large selection of vegetables from Orange County's Glebocki Farm.
