About the Market

Background

Founded in 1989, Grand Army Plaza is Greenmarket's flagship Brooklyn market and the second largest market in the program, following Union Square. It is located at the northwest entrance to Prospect Park and near the Brooklyn Public Library, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. The market attracts a diverse mix of shoppers from nearby neighborhoods such as Park Slope, Prospect Heights, and Crown Heights.

Practices

The market features a variety of farm fresh products, emphasizing local and seasonal produce. GrowNYC's Textile Recycling and Compost Collection services are available, promoting waste reduction and sustainability.

The Rest

The market is a hub for community activities, including programming and cooking demonstrations every Saturday throughout the year. It caters to a wide audience, including runners, dog-walkers, families, singles, and foodies.
