Greenmarket's gateway to the Upper West Side, the Tucker Square Greenmarket, offers locally grown produce just across the street from Lincoln Center. Seasonal vegetables range from fresh staples like corn and greens to Mexican specialties like papalo and epazote. Orchards boast sweet berries, stone fruit, and over 80 varieties of apples.
Knowledgeable growers are at market to explain just how to care for their plants, flowers, and herb pots indoors and out.  Impeccable farmstead cheeses, fresh seafood, grass fed beef, duck and duck charcuterie, eggs, artisanal baked goods, and New York’s only producer of both sorghum and maple syrup round out the offerings.  

Calendar of Events

Community activities, cooking demonstrations and recipe exchanges will add to the diverse nature of this market.

She is currently a senior at New York University, studying Environmental Studies, Metropolitan Studies, and Spanish. Living in Murray Hill, Rachel found herself walking through the Union Square Greenmarket whenever possible on her way to class, simply to soak in the farmers market atmosphere. Since the environment and food are her two greatest passions, she'll be sure to enjoy each day at the markets!
