It's almost farmers market season in New York City!

GrowNYC Greenmarkets 
GrowNYC's year-round Greenmarket farmers markets will soon be growing as farmers bring additional delicious fruits and vegetables to market every day, and our seasonal Greenmarkets begin opening in April. New Yorkers (and visitors!) can find a bounty of fresh, local products at Greenmarkets throughout the city. 

Check out individual market webpages for daily farmer attendance and information about upcoming activities such as cooking demonstrations and family-friendly programming.

GrowNYC Farmstands
GrowNYC Farmstands are part of a network of food access retail sites operated by GrowNYC, along with Greenmarket sites. Through Farmstands, GrowNYC sells fresh, affordable food in underserved and under resourced neighborhoods across NYC. The food sold at Farmstands is grown by farmers in the Northeast and transparently sourced through GrowNYC Wholesale. This vital food access program also offers important job opportunities for New Yorkers, ensures healthy, fresh food access across the city, and provides vital revenue for family farms in the Northeast.

All GrowNYC Greenmarkets accept SNAP/EBT, Debit/Credit, Healthfirst OTC cards (LIP and CC members only), WIC & Senior FMNP coupons, and Greenmarket Bucks accepted.
Spend $2 in SNAP/EBT/P-EBT, get bonus $2 Health Buck, up to $10 per day.

GrowNYC is providing comprehensive support for residents and building operations teams to participate in NYC’s mandatory Curbside Composting program! Our dedicated team is offering the education and technical assistance necessary to make composting an integral part of a building’s waste management strategy. 

We're supporting buildings with 10 or more units in the Bronx, Brooklyn, or Manhattan by providing free support until June 2025 to set up and keep a successful composting system. This includes:

• On-site assessments of waste sorting and collection areas

• Assistance in setting up collection spaces

• Training for building staff

• Information sessions and workshops for residents

Anyone interested in bringing Curbside Composting to their building can fill out our survey and we’ll work with you to ensure a smooth transition to composting!

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.

A message for GrowNYC Greenmarket, Farmstand, and wholesale customers:

We are closely monitoring the recent outbreak of avian influenza that has led to the culling of millions of chickens, ducks, and turkeys across the country, which has reduced the supply of eggs and increased demand for local eggs.

Our producers take precaution to ensure the safety of our food for our Greenmarket, Farmstand, and wholesale customers. GrowNYC takes every measure to ensure the quality and safety of the food sold and requires all producers to abide by health and safety regulations. 

Transparency and traceability are the foundation of our mission to support regional farmers and to provide equitable access to the freshest, highest-quality foods to New Yorkers throughout the five boroughs. As a non-profit operator, GrowNYC does not dictate farmer prices. This is up to the discretion of individual farm businesses. 

There are a number of things New Yorkers can always do to ensure that they safely consume eggs. We encourage food safety best practices such as: cooking eggs fully to 165°F, avoiding eating raw eggs, thoroughly washing your hands after handling eggs, and storing eggs in the refrigerator. 

For additional tips on egg safety please read reliable third-party resources.
