GrowNYC Greenmarket and Farmstand sites operate under very strict permits. From time to time, and where there is additional space, we are able to host City agencies and New York City-based non-profit organizations aligned with our mission and offering direct community services to conduct outreach activity as market guests.
Pre-approved market guests may distribute information and literature, and perform outreach to customers; guests cannot sell services, products, memberships, or merchandise, nor can guests solicit donations, collect signatures for petitions, promote campaigns or perform political lobbying activities. Guests must provide the required insurance, and bring any equipment needed (e.g. tables and chairs); we do not provide equipment, electricity, or facilities.
Not Permitted
- Businesses promoting or selling products and services, including grocery delivery services (for fee-based sponsorship/activation requests, please contact info@grownyc.org)
- Fee-based education and daycare programs; School recruitment outreach
- Political activity
- Faith-based and spiritual-based organizations
- Medical services performed at market
- Animal adoption agencies

Due to the frequency of requests, if you are with a business or organization listed in the 'Not Permitted' category below we may not respond.
