Located in one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the city, the recently expanded Jackson Heights Greenmarket is the largest and busiest Greenmarket in Queens. Wrapping around the edge of Travers Park, this bustling Sunday market draws a large crowd of families, long-time residents and young couples who come out to shop, enjoy the lively scene, and meet and greet their neighbors. The Friends of Travers Park designated 78th a “playstreet” where they host family-friendly events each Sunday adjacent to the market. Reflecting the culinary diversity of the neighborhood, the Jackson Heights market offers a broad selection of vegetables, fruit, eggs, fish, honey, chicken and specialty Mexican produce.

Manager

Markella Los grew up in Greece and after spending some time in Boston studying Fine Art she moved to New York. She began rediscovering things she was brought up with, such as gardening, preserving, composting, and healthy, home cooked meals. This led her to courses in community food systems, nutrition and local food policy. A former Greenmarket volunteer, she is also involved in her neighborhood CSA and in the development of the first food coop in Queens. Markella is excited to be part of the Greenmarket team, doing work she cares about and loves.
