My go to shopping spot for fresh food in Fort Greene is definitely the Farmer’s Market at Fort Greene Park on Saturday mornings. But – sometimes my rations run out before Saturday rolls around again. Now there’s two more options for farm fresh produce on other days of the week:
Fresh fruits and veggies in our neighborhood at the Myrtle Ave Farm Stand
On Thursdays from 4-7pm you can find the Myrtle Avenue Farm Stand located 177 Myrtle btwn Prince and Navy in front of the Ingersoll Community Garden. You can find beets, carrots, lettuce, collards, potatoes, white onions, basil, broccoli, eggplant, peppers, parsley, corn, peaches and red plums at great prices – nothing costs over $2.50 per bunch or pound! The Farm Stand is open through October 28th, 2010.
Youthmarket on Lafayette
My Little O recently reported that on Fridays the Lafayette Youthmarket is stationed at the corner of Lafayette and Washington Avenues in Clinton Hill, every Friday from 1pm to 7pm, until October 29, 2010. The market offers fresh, locally grown produce at reasonable prices. It is a part of GrowNYC, which is a network of youth-run urban farm stands in New York City.
So check out the Farm Stand and the Youthmarket and get some healthy, tasty, and fresh food for your family!
