GrowNYC Greenmarket and Farmstand sites open for the market season! Since 1976, GrowNYC has offered opportunities for New Yorkers to access farm fresh food and provided crucial revenue to family farms in the Northeast via food access sites.
All Greenmarket & Farmstand locations accept SNAP/EBT, Debit/Credit, Healthfirst OTC cards (LIP and CC members only), WIC & Senior FMNP coupons, and Greenmarket Bucks.
Customers using SNAP/EBT/P-EBT that spend $2, receive a bonus $2 Health Buck, up to $10 per day.
Read on to find your nearest site, looking forward to seeing you at the markets!

Bye, Plastic Bags!
Please note that single-use plastic and compostable bags with handles will no longer be available at GrowNYC Greenmarket and Farmstand locations.
Here are some tips for going plastic-free:
BYOBs! Bring your own reusable totes, produce bags, and containers while shopping. Don't forget to pack a big general tote bag and smaller bags and containers for individual items.
Carry a few extra reusable totes with you always.
Reduce before you reuse or recycle. It costs money and energy to produce and recycle.
