Announcing the new Hester Street Greenmarket

Greenmarket is happy to announce
the opening of our new Hester Street Greenmarket, on Essex at Hester Street in
the Lower East Side, on Sunday, June 20.
Greenmarket is teaming up with Hester Street Fair, adding fresh food from local
farms to the Fair's curated offerings of local goods and prepared foods.
"Everything is from local artisans and producers," says
Lower East Side resident Jean Tsai. "So you'll be creating a
sustainable local economy while eating lunch, picking up presents
(for yourself or others), and grocery shopping for the week."
Our opening day celebration features a special guest cooking demonstration by
Broadway East chef Sasha St. Germaine.
Offerings on the
Greenmarket's first day will include:
- plump Jersey vegetables, fruit, and homemade preserves from Phillips Farm;
- specialty and wild foraged greens from Woori Farm;
- orchard fruit, award-winning cider, and all-butter pies and pastries from
Breezy Hill Orchard;
- fresh eggs and pasta from Knoll Krest Farm.
EBT / Food Stamps are welcome at the Hester Street Greenmarket. The
Hester Street Greenmarket will replace and build on our former Grand Street
location, one block north.
