Farm Fresh

Before heading to the picnic in the park why not pick up some fresh produce?

The 47 markets in 33 locations in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island serve more than 250,000 customers each week during peak season.

By far the largest and most famous of these markets is the Union Square Greenmarket Farmers Market, which operates four times a week: Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday 8am-6pm year-round. Suppliers from around the region showcase the fruits of their labor: honey, preserves, and maple syrup; perfect gourmet pretzels; while fans of all things organic can stock up on rich varieties of tomatoes, potatoes, and peppers.

Some other Greenmarket Manhattan locations include Rockefeller Center at Rockefeller Plaza and 50th Street on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in October and on the Upper West Side at West 97th Street and Columbus Avenue on Thursdays 8am-5pm and Sundays 8am-6pm year-round.

When in Brooklyn, plan a picnic at Prospect Park and pick up everything you need at the Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket Farmers Market. Located at the intersection of Flatbush Avenue, Eastern Parkway, and Prospect Park West, the second largest open-air greenmarket in New York City is open every Saturday 8am-4pm. Fill up on local seasonal fruits and vegetables, fresh fish, free-range meat and poultry, honey, jam, and an assortment of dairy products.

The Bronx has three Greenmarket locations to choose from including Poe Park and Yankee Stadium on Tuesdays from July through November and south of Lincoln Hospital at 148th and Morris Streets. In Queens, the bustling neighborhood of Jackson Heights is home to a Sunday Greenmarket on 34th Avenue between 77th and 78th Streets 8am-3pm, May through November. On Staten Island, patrons of the Greenmarket in the St. George Boro Hall Parking Lot have their pick of local and seasonal fruits and vegetables every Saturday.

In July, Greenmarket will open eight new locations including Murray Hill in Manhattan, Astoria and Long Island City in Queens, and Historic Richmond Town (441 Clarke Ave., 718-351- 1611, www.historicrichmondtown.org ) on Staten Island.

There are a number of independent markets in New York City that are also worth a visit. Before hitting the beach in Brooklyn, spend some time browsing the Coney Island Farmers Market (W. 16th St. and Surf Ave. at Key Span Stadium Plaza), which welcomes visitors from July 10 through October 31. Here you’ll find the perfect ingredients for a beachside lunch.
