Famers Markets

Garden Fresh Produce with Nature’s Own Misting

Posted in Around the Garden on September 7 2011, by Rustin Dwyer

Okay, it’s a little rainy and misty this week, but you know how I think of it? You know those sprayers at the supermarket that shoot mist all over the lettuce and carrots? There’s a similar situation going on at the Garden right this very moment at our weekly Greenmarket. A bunch of beautiful produce is getting a fine drizzling mist of cool, fresh water.

The only difference between this and the supermarket is the products here were picked or produced less than 12 hours ago from locally sourced farms, bakeries and orchards!

Head below the jump to see what produce the farmers brought this week.

Celebrating Farmers Market Week at the NYBG Greenmarket

It’s National Farmer’s Market Week! What better way to celebrate than with a trip to the Garden’s weekly Greenmarket to chat with some of the great community volunteers, politicians, and health advocates who turn up every Wednesday to dispense advice to the market’s shoppers?

The New York Botanical Garden Greenmarket occurs every Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The market will run until Thanksgiving.
