Union Square Greenmarket

The world-famous Union Square Greenmarket began with just a few farmers in 1976 and has grown exponentially to become Greenmarket's flagship market. In peak season, 140 regional farmers, fishers, and bakers sell their products to a dedicated legion of 60,000 weekly city dwellers. Located in one of New York City's great public spaces, the seasonal bounty is unparalleled, with hundreds of varieties to choose from during any given season. From just-picked fresh fruits and vegetables to heritage meats and award-winning farmstead cheeses, artisan breads, jams, pickles, a profusion of cut flowers and plants, wine, ciders, maple syrup and much more. The atmosphere at Union Square on a market day is electric, with cooking demonstrations by some of New York's hottest local chefs, educational tours, and a vibrant community gathering.
