Neighborhood residents and staff from New York-Presbyterian Hospital and Columbia University Medical Center flock to this Washington Heights market for its bounty of fresh, locally grown offerings. Mexican herbs, peppers, and greens, honey, cheese, juice pressed from ripe orchard fruit, produce grown in the rich soil of Orange County's "Black Dirt" region, pastries and fresh bread make this the perfect market for putting together a healthy lunch or stocking up your larder mid-week. Visit the Market Information tent each week for cooking demonstrations, nutritional information, kids' games and health-related events and activities throughout the season.

Calendar of Events

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

From June to November, Cornell Cooperative Extension conducts weekly bilingual nutrition education workshops and cooking demonstrations at this market. Visit their stand each week to learn how to choose and store fresh produce, and nutritious preparations to try at home!

In a moment where New Yorkers have turned to parks and gardening to ease the mental and emotional strain the Covid-19 pandemic has taken on residents, when the need for education surrounding nutrition and health couldn’t be more critical, the same nonprofits that make green space and nutrition education possible are in danger of going under, while vital city agencies like the New York City Parks Department’s GreenThumb program are facing severe budget cuts.
