Remembering GrowNYC Greenmarket Co-Founder, Barry Benepe

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of our beloved Greenmarket co-founder, Barry Benepe. His vision to connect regional farmers to New York City consumers, fundamentally altered the way the city eats and served as the impetus for the contemporary farm-to-table movement. He tirelessly worked to raise support and awareness in service of keeping local farmers in business, and New Yorkers fed with freshest food in our region. His commitment, generosity, and especially his kindness will be missed greatly. 

His legacy lives on in the countless lives touched, communities fed, and 200+ producers who continue to sell at Greenmarket today. His life and career was always in the service of New Yorkers and farmers, his vision has guided us through the years, and continues to do so every day.

You can read more about Barry’s accomplishments and legacy in his New York Times obituary and the below recent video GrowNYC created to honor him at our Gala last year.
