Cortelyou Greenmarket opens next weekend!

The Cortelyou Greenmarket has been getting bigger and better every year; this season will be the longest yet.

East New York Farmers Market celebrates 10 years!

East New York Farms! is a community-based program that brings together neighborhood gardeners, local entrepreneurs, youth leaders, and regional farmers to create a vibrant public market in East New York, Brooklyn.

Cortelyou Farmers’ Market is open!

Okay, so I’m late on this one.

Last Sunday was the season opener for the Cortelyou Road Greenmarket, and it was a very festive occasion! Kids and parents crowded the playground, a klezmer band played, and the market manager cooked up apple-rutabaga compote while conducting a color-coded survey about what additional products people would like to see at the market. It already looks like there will be a greater variety of vendors than in past years, and starting this weekend Brooklyn Compost Project will conduct worm composting demonstrations.
