The world-famous Union Square Greenmarket is our flagship market.
What began with just a few farmers in 1976
has grown exponentially over the past 33 years, transforming this
once dangerous, crime-ridden area and into a dynamic
and vibrant public space.
The Union Square Greenmarket currently operates on
approximately 2 acres of parkland and hosts over 140
Producers each week: these two acres of market have directly preserved over
12,500 acres of regional farmland.
As our biggest market, 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.
