Allison Whaley, market manager of the Bay Ridge Farmer's Market, asked me to pass along the following reminder.The Bay Ridge Farmers Market opens this Saturday, May 2nd at 8:00 AM, providing fresh produce, flowers and plants, lean meats and dairy, wild-caught fish, fresh eggs and baked goods.
There will be free events like cooking demonstrations, raffles and family activities throughout the season.
So come out on Saturday and meet farmers, neighbors and friends and buy some wholesome food.
The market will be located at the former Key Food parking lot, 95th St and 3rd Ave., from 8 AM through 3PM every Saturday through December.
Your EBT/Food Stamps (June/December) and WIC and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition checks will work just fine.
The Farmers Market is provided through Greenmarket, a not-for-profit program of the New York City Council on the Environment that supports regional agriculture by providing local outlets for small agricultural producers.
Local Greenmarkets support the regional economy, help preserve farmland, help keep water and soil clean, and encourage sustainable agriculture. They also enliven neighborhoods by bringing people together.
See you there!
