Reviews for: Union Square Greenmarket

Assortment, quality and the people are really great. Very helpful and friendly as well as informative. They also have a large assortment including flowers. There is a great deal of space for customers to shop and browse.

Because of the Organic Farmers and those who use no pesticides, no rapid growth hormones

They have a large selection and several organic stands including a biodynamic farm and they are in NYC!

Quality of food, number of days it is in operation, organization and plenty of space for vendors and customers.

Amazing variety of produce, meats, cheeses, eggs, etc. The best market for unusual or hard-to-find ingredients.

It's a wonderful year-round market with friendly & helpful vendors selling an incredible variety of fresh, locally grown food.

The best I have seen anywhere. Wonderful atmosphere with everything one could want available. Farmers are very accommodating:when I requested a rooster to make an authentic Coq au Vin, the farmer said "Come back a week from today and I'll bring one for you. Where else would one get such service?

They're there year round, great central location and vendors, and they have composting and fabric recycling too

buying local is important to support the farmers, help our environment & eat healthily

Huge variety of FRESH, Locally grown, organic food for NYC city dwellers, PLUS allows me to support local farmers even when I don't live in their area.

It is big, consistent and it brings a sense of community into an area that has too much going on around it.

Selection, care , people are nice and the spot is just right for shopping and everything is fresh

Best market in town...can find just about anything at this market and the produce is fresh, local, and delicious.

The variety and quality of the produce, baked goods, other fresh and wholesome food and beverage, the festivity, and the reliability. It's fun to be there.

I feel it's a great green market that supplies it's cvommunity and city with local fresh foods. They have a large supply of so many fresh foods.

I Love My farmer's market! All the food is fresh, the people are nice and outgoing, When I think farmer's market, I think 14th street Union Square! It's a perfect location because it is a complex where the road is closed off. Even when I don't have any money, I go to the farmer's market just for fun.

The produce is fantastic, the flowers and plants are lovely, the farmers are terrific and they are out there 3 times a week - and everything Laure Prevost said too.

Farmers at the Union Square Greenmarket are open to sharing their recipes, smiling and always willing to give a sample of their food. They also remember customers and go the extra step to meet their demands -such as reserving a rare cheese for a customer who can't make it for 8am when the market opens or holding a basket of wild raspberries, when they could just easily sell them at the highest bid1-. Artists also greatly complement the atmosphere by displaying pictures of New York city taken in markets and around Greenwich Village, thus spicing up the local pride!

I have loved this market since I first started working there are a 5-year old with my parents, who still sell at the market to this day - 30 years later :)

Oldest and best farm market in NYC. Lots of variety and great farmers from up to 250 miles away

The people are the salt of the earth. They sell beautiful, local, organic, delicious products from small farms. The whole market is wonderful to walk through. you have people like me looking for local, organic vegan produce to chefs from local restaurants shopping. They have a composting stand to flowers. I love supporting the local farmers and while it is green friendly as well. It is a great experience.

i love to go to the market weekly, but it is so crowded. i believe all the construction is complete, yet it is still hard to navigate because of the foot traffic. i guess the best bet is not to go at lunch or after work.

supplying the average citizen and restaurant owners all over new york city with great local product this farmers market is open four days a week all year round as alternative retailer changing eating habits to healthier while supporting local farmers and a greener solution. it's a win-win venture!

They have good produce, friendly people and they are reliable. the prices I wish could be more affordable, but it's special to be and shop there.

A wonderful slice of country in the middle of NYC! I couldn't survive here without it!!

Easy to get to from my apartment, great and fresh selections and always enjoyable on a beautiful day!

I want to support my local farmers. Plus, I can get fresh, organic food. It not only keeps me alive, it keeps me healthy!

Abundance and variety! Wonderful organic farmers. Open four days a week. Has a wonderful program supporting visits from school groups.

Best food, flowers, herbs available. The best restaurants use it, so it's good enough for me.

Its the best market I have seen. Always great vendors, nice people and awesome produce!

it is fantastic! the food is great. the flowers are beautiful and we look forward to buying a tree every year. i just discovered this awesome honey last week. it is incredible.

They are the BEST!!!!! And in this crazy world we live in, especially in NYC, it's what keeps us in touch with the real food. Thanks

This farmers market has the greatest variety of items from fresh honey and homemade jams to organic veggies, cheeses, corn, breads, flowers, fruit and more! Everyone is super nice and everything is fresh!

The best vendors, the fresh Hudson Valley fruits and vegetables, the variety of vendors, ambiance. It's just a wonderful experience.

Union Square is convenient and friends, with a wide variety of vendors and I can get a great selection of fruits and vegetables in season at reasonable prices.

Union Square Greenmarket provides a large variety of locally grown fruits and vegetables, including a large section of organic produce. It is very popular and provides an important alternative/supplement to grocery stores.

They have a great variety of foods to choose from and they are always packed with customers!

Union Square Greenmarket is a most wonderful addition to downtown Manhattan, a market that is easy for almost anyone in the 5 boroughs of the big apple to visit that offers just about anything and everything you could want from a market, and all in a few city blocks. Visiting this treasure trove is a pleasure -- something New YOrkers can count on in the midst of the grey urban landscape!

It is part of our rich Saturday routine and it goes all year long. Also, we have become personal friends with some of the farmers over the 8 years we have supported them.

all year long, winter and summer they have fresh produce, eggs, chickens, flowers etc. Great location in a bustling city.

I believe in supporting the community. And it tastes so much better because of less chemicals!

I like the fact that they are there 4 days a week and across from the whole food store.

Lots of different products from cookies to grass to cactus plants offered here right next to a lovely park area and conveniently located next to the subway as well!

It is a bountiful oasis of all things local and fresh amid a city of skyscrapers and concrete. The farmers are fabulous and the produce delicious and healthy.

union square always has great quality and locally grown produce. it is also the only one i know of that has a wheatgrass grower-which i love!!

THere is an abundance of fresh produce and baked goods that are of excellent quality and fair prices.

It gives me the opportunity to buy fresh produce of a quality I can't find in supermarkets

It has a great selection of everything; organic veggies, eggs, dried flowers, plants, ready made food plus Hawthorne Valley Farm makes the best brownies!

I just love the small-town feeling that having this market in the middle of the big city gives me!

I support Union Square Greenmarket, because of the vast variety of types of foods, the freshness, and the friendliness of those who do the selling. In addition, the displays are attractive and the market is clean. The roominess makes it easy to shop.

The best bread, vegetables, fruit, plants, flowers ......you can get. Huge variety, everything is fresh, service is great. Very enjoyable experience.

I shop there year-round, four days a week, and I also drop my compost at the market. It makes city living not just possible, but pleasurable.

The selection of fruit, vegetables, meat, bread and dairy items - not to mention flowers - is unparalleled. It truly offers everything you could possibly want. The farmers selling their items are friendly and knowledgeable and there is no better feeling that strolling through the market on a cool summer morning to get fresh food.

Huge variety makes this place a must-visit, even for someone who doesn't live in the neighborhood. Fantastic.

The variety and freshness of the produce is unparalled! It is a place to build community while supporting local agriculture.

The breadth and quality of the food that is available in the heart of the city is truly quite amazing! NYC does not have access to a lot farms so the Union Square Greenmarket keeps us green and eating local.

always the best, the freshest, sellers MUST grow, raise, produce the product they are selling. Year around market, it's the only place I purchase meat. Friends chide me because some things cost more than the supermarket, but I contend I would rather spend my money on quality food than on the doctor.

A real destination spot. Beautiful seasonal produce. Great variety of local farm products. Convenient, attractive location. Stop by early in the morning and you'll run into some famous chefs.

Since 1980, I have eaten organically when I can. I have been going to Union Square for food since I discovered it in 1981. Open four days a week now, with wonderful farmers and their wonderful food and a wonderful variety. I have made friends for life. My health is in direct correlation to what they provide for me. For this I am eternally thankful and grateful. I support them and encourage others to take advantage of the bounty that is within reach. I could go on and on and on...

I love the variety, I love getting to know the farmers, and I love to see it grow year after year! Stunning array of great food...just thinking about it makes me hungry!

Four days a week you can get amazing local produce, flowers, bread and more, drop off food scraps for compost, recycle old clothing and textiles, and usually see a celebrity or two!

The Union Square Green market usually has great produce and bakery items. everything is fresh. And the best market booth of all is the pretzel booth! Greatest pretzels around.

This market needs no introduction. As the most frequent and prolific farmer's market in NYC, not only does the Union Square Greenmarket operate year-round and represent farmers from all over the surrounding area, spanning multiple states, but they have great programs like food scrap-drop off for composting, textile recycling, and cooking demonstrations. Amid one of the most popular bustling hubs of commerce, demonstration and camaraderie in Manhattan, this market holds its own--definitely a main attraction.

Lovely market with organic produce that is so fresh and delicious. Organic dessert wines are wonderful, too.

I love being able to get a terrific variety of locally-grown, fresh, healthy, delicious and beautiful items all in one conveniently-located block of the Big Apple! From produce to pretzels, and unique breads to gorgeous flowers, there's something for everyone.

great selection, fresh produce, good prices, and its well organized with a variety of breads, cheese, fruits from NY. etc.

It has to be one of the best places to go to source fantastic selections of fresh produce, berries, jams and meats etc. Absolutely amazing!!!!

It's conveniently located and has a huge variety of fresh fruits, veggies, meats, fish, cheese, dairy, bread, etc. etc.

I love the large selection and the sense of community in such a large, often anonymous city.

Are you kidding? Fresh produce, meat, dairy and more, all year round, in the rain, in the snow... it's the best!

It's one-stop-shopping, 4 days a week - all year round. I no longer have to shop at supermarkets for anything. I buy all my fruit, vegetables, meats, fish, eggs, cheeses, milk and cream, wines, and honey from the market. What more do you need for a healthy and sustainable diet?

Because I can get really fresh beautiful in season foods that make it a pleasure to cook and eat year round. I also enjoy the community feeling.

Hardworking, dedicated people with great produce; and bringing our veg scraps to the LES Ecology Center compost stand has helped us reduce our waste by something like 50%.

went there for years when i lived in nyc. they had the best and quite a variety!

In addition to wonderful produce, flowers, cheese, meats, etc. the Greenmarket brings a sense of community to the neighborhood and a feeling of friendship with the farmers and producers of the tri-state area. It adds charm and vibrancy to the City. Hurrah for the Union Square Greenmarket.

Great produce and fish and diary - wonderful people - local foods - what could be wrong with that?

Wonderful to have fresh produce right oof the farm in the middle of NYC!! Just adds to the reasons New York is such a great place to live and eat!!

This market is a life saver! It is so refreshing to be able to buy fresh produce, help local farmers and have my dog with me when I'm there to boot!

Union Square Market has a wonderful selection of seasonal fruit, vegetables, flowers, plants and more, from LOCAL farmers and growers. My priority is to buy local, hence, support local businesses and build community. If you want to know what fresh food is supposed to taste like, go to the Union Square Greenmarket. And don't forget to stop and smell the rosemary!

It is a bounty of fresh food, plants and flowers right in the middle of the city: an urban oasis. It transformed a neighborhood and is a magnet for people from all over the city. We love it!

Union Square Greenmarket brings wholesome, fresh goodness (and organics and flavor and seasonal variety!) into an already thriving community and marketplace. It's just one more reason why our Union Square neighborhood is such a desirable place to live, shop, cook and eat. Even if you don't cook, take a cue from the neighborhood's best restaurants, whose chefs pride themselves on developing their weekly menus from what they find at the Union Square Market.

It's the only place I want to shop in the city -- local food harvested with care, helpful and friendly people, and a market that supports awareness and community. I travel out of my way every week to go! Thank, greenmarket!

Actually, I live in Brooklyn NY...and don't shop the market in Manhattan. I would love to have a wonderful farmer's market in Brooklyn...and want to support fresh, non-genetically modified, properly raised fruits and vegetables. Most produce, fruits especially here...are huge, look beautiful...and taste like a mouthful of cotton, no sweetness, no flavor...unbearable...especially for summer fruit. Why do we want giant oranges, apples and pears. Peaches and nectarines are pulpy and have no taste. Bananas bought green or hard to the touch so they don't over ripe...are already bruised inside and hardly a part can be eaten. This has been going on for years...I don't know why the public puts up with it.

This market has been feeding me for over twenty years. The farmers here provide the freshest and best variety of fruit and produce that I can find anywhere in the region.

finest produce, fish, meats, poultry, dairy and flowers anywhere! and freshest.

Love all the fresh and healthy foods sold at this marvelous market. Everything is top quality.

It is the best in the City! Other markets around the city don't have much of a selection of organic produce!

Largest and most diverse one I know. Especially like the plant selections and prices.

Love the fruits & vegetables from the Union Square market... they are the freshest ever! and you can find almost anything in there.

The Union Square Greenmarket has been advancing the greening of NYC for years. The city's a little less asphalt and concrete with the greenmarket in town!

Besides having everything that I could possibly want to purchase, the shopping experience is uplifting and a visual feast.

It is important to get locally (within the tri state area) grown, fresh and possibly organic food. Support for individual farmers is another reason. R.C.

It has a wide variety of fruits, vegtables, and so many other items. I can get the bulk of my shopping done there in one swoop.

Huge selection of local and organically grown foodstuffs in a convivial atmosphere.

Because the farmers are brilliant. They provide fresh, healthy and delicious foods, no matter what the weather is. They are patient, smiling and caring people and it shows in their foods. If every person on this planet ater this healthily, not only would they benifit but so would our planet because then there would be true stewardship of the planet and our own health. I moved here from London and it was the Union Square Green Market that made my life here happy, healthy and joyful. I do not know what we would do without it. We need to make sure that it never stops. Thank you all Love and hugs Sarah x

The friendly, knowledgeable farmers and very, very fresh produce plus the extras - flowers, wines, eggs, cheese. Its fabulous.

I love Union Square Greenmarket because it makes being a locavore wonderfully easy in the middle of this huge city in which I live. The farmers are knowledgeable, helpful and friendly, and the entire experience is good for city dweller's souls!

The Union Square Greenmarket is the best thing that happened to our neighborhood. It's not just the food, which is marvelous, fresh, healthy, with abundant choices, but it's also a focal point for the neighborhood where so many people come together, interacting in such a positive way. This could never happen in a supermarket. I hope the market lasts forever!

food variety, reasonable prices, friendly service and 4X weekly availability.

There is nothing like having really fresh food and that's what I know I'm getting when I buy my food at the Union Square Greenmarket.
