We can't compete with Emily's photographs from the Hollywood Farmers' Market (we'll blame East Coast weather and inferior camera skills), but we do have a lot of beautiful Fall produce here in New Yor...
While the tomato blight may be wiping out certain conventional breeds, heirlooms seem to be flourishing. We saw big, small, round, heart-shaped, knobby, red, yellow, green, orange, and purple tomatoes...
What did we find at the farmers' market this morning? Everything we love about summer: juicy tomatoes and peaches, bright yellow squash, a perfect plum for jam, and some funny-looking zucchini......
Most of us know the biggies in our cities. In New York, we've got Union Square and Grand Army Plaza that are open year-round and have dozens of vendors. But there are lesser-known markets that pop up ...
The market on West 96th Street (between Columbus and Amsterdam) dwindles down to a sliver of itself in the winter, but it's backâwith radishes, asparagus, and now strawberries. There was even live m...
The New York City farmers' markets are still peeking out from under the blanket of winter. Ramps have arrived, but there's not much else in the way of exciting produce. There are, however, plenty of f...
The Union Square Greenmarket was pretty apple and squash-heavy this morning (no clementines yet here in New York) but we did find one unexpected gem. What are these caterpillar-like vegetables?...
We saw big piles of Indian corn all over the Union Square Greenmarket the other day. It's so colorful and pretty and... edible? Is it? Find out......
Listening to the NPR show All Things Considered last week, we were delighted to hear an interview with tomato farmer Tim Stark. In addition to sharing stories from his life and excerpts from his new b...
This small greenmarket in the Rockefeller Center Plaza is only open for July, August, and October. Stop by for some apricots (see photos, below) if you can fight your way through the crowds there to s...
Was joining a CSA on your to-do list this spring? As we head toward August, most CSA slots in New York City have been sold out for months, but we have a find for you this afternoon. If you didn't fi...
Here in New York, there's a new market in town. Most of our farmers markets are run by Greenmarket, with very specific rules and regulations. But there are a few who do their own thing. A group of s...
Shopping at the Union Square Greenmarket today, we saw these itty bitty white Japanese turnips nestled next to the French breakfast radishes......
E-i-e-i-oh my. Last night, Sara Kate and I went to a Gastronomica forum on Faith and Food at the Astor Center. Zaid and Haifa Kurdieh spoke about the challenges of farming while holding to their re...
We frequently show you what's popping up at the Union Square and Grand Army Plaza Greenmarkets, but there are many small markets tucked into corners of the city that deserve a mention. One of these i...
We noticed a lot of people with their cameras out this morning in Union Square. Photogenic spring produce, like this bountiful pile of scallions, is finally becoming more plentiful in New York. See ...
It's finally actually spring: ramps are in season. Strolling through Saturday's Greenmarket, we were surprised but elated to see them. This wild member of the lily family (which also includes onions, ...
In the winter, we don't go to the greenmarket that often. Instead, we mostly just sigh as we look at the farmer's market reports from California, and occasionally stop by for some hardy root vegetable...
We know. It's not exactly apple season. Apple season is Fall, with its apple picking and apple crumbles and general apple-y-ness. But if you take a walk through any New York City greenmarket these d...
This week at Thompson Square Farmer's Market, what should have been slim pickings was in greater abundance than ever. We arrived at 6 pm, expecting picked-over stone fruit and corn with ripped hu...
Samascott Orchards posted signs yesterday to teach greenmarket shoppers about their dappled apples. A hail storm hit Kinderhook, NY this spring and cut dimples and scars into their early harvest apple...
We came across these artichokes at a Greenmarket in midtown Manhattan and were baffled. We know that Greenmarkets are only permitted to sell local products. We also knew that, as artichoke.org says...
There was a rush on chameh melons yesterday at the Greenmarket near the UN. After shoppers tasted a bite, they had to try one ($1/pound, Yuno's Farms). These small yellow melons are perfect for small...
Italian flat beans, also known as Romano green beans, are in season now. These beans are flat in form, but not in flavor. Compared to standard green beans, these beans have a bright, slightly sweet ...
