About the Market

Background

Located outside the entrance of historic Fort Greene Park, the market has become a gathering place for young, urban professionals and multi-generational families every Saturday. It offers a wide range of products from local farms and vendors, contributing to the vibrant community atmosphere.

Practices

Vendors at the market include Glebocki Farm, known for growing potatoes, onions, and vegetables in Orange County's black-dirt region, and Pura Vida, which provides fresh-caught fish. The market emphasizes local and fresh produce, supporting regional agriculture and sustainable fishing practices.

The Rest

In addition to groceries, visitors can purchase handmade items at the neighboring Artisan-Market, dine at farm-to-table restaurants in the neighborhood, and visit the nearby Brooklyn Flea. The market accepts EBT/Food Stamps and WIC & Senior FMNP Coupons, making it accessible to a wide range of customers.
