One of my favorite places to visit. The Green markets offers so much great organic produce & home made like baked goods. The outdoor plant vendors (there are two) ALWAYS has great quality plants for a steal. Get there early because as the saying goes the early bird catches the worm!! You will not be disappointed!!!

Love this farmers market. Great place to
get produce and plants as well as a few knick knacks. Has a lot variety in already-prepared food as well like cider donuts, pastries, cheeses, drinks, and more (vegan, gluten free, etc). Great place to stroll through in the summer!

In terms of urban farmers markets, the quality and variety is very high. There are organic stands, bakery stands, meats and fish, etc.

The issue for me is the pricing. It’s pretty unreasonable for almost all of the produce especially if you have a car and can take a trip to local farm country. Price for organic are often 2-3x what you would pay at Whole Foods. I understand shopping small and tracing your produce, but when items are $10/lb for basic veggies it’s hard to justify.

On the plus side, you can always find in season produce and the quality looks excellent. Worth a splurge if you are making something special, but not sustainable to shop regularly.

Nice outdoor market fresh produce, honey syrups jams and breads. Credit cards, EBT, SNAP, first go to exchange booth for tokens to spend.

By far the largest farmers market in NYC with the widest variety of purveyors from hot house greens to organic proteins of all flavors and sizes.

One of my favorite parts of being in this neighborhood (though I'd probably go out of my way to come even if this wasn't our neighborhood when in NY)- a year round market with veggies, cheese, meat/eggs, bread, plants, honey, flowers, and basically anything else you can think of? Multiple times per week?

Granted, you're probably not getting something that isn't in-season, so don't expect do to 100% of your shopping here year round, but the selection is incredible considering this is the northeast.

Quality is pretty uniformly great. The number of vendors varies by day and time of year.

This is always worth perusing, even if you're a tourist and not stocking your pantry!
