Sweet! With the recent addition of the Olive Market in the Neighborhood, fresh vegetables are becoming a reality!
ReplyDeleteGreat news! Although, I am going to feel pretty guilty about heading here instead of the one on 110th. Still, there are more than enough people around 110th & Morningside to give that one the support it needs. Get out there!
ReplyDeleteIf anyone is interested in helping bring a Farmer's Market to St. Nicholas Park, The Friends of St. Nicholas Park need people to help!

Thanks!
Cute picture!
ReplyDeleteAny word on what kinds of stands / products will be at the market?
ReplyDeleteAnd on a somewhat unrelated note, does anyone know of any compost drop-offs in Harlem? I've been trying to find one for months, but have had little luck. I hate having to haul my veggie scraps all the way to Union Square.
9:44 check with the community garden on 124th street (5th/Lenox); also there might be info. at the workshop below

BACKYARD COMPOSTING WORKSHOP
Saturday, July 10, 11am-1pm
Unity Park, W 128th Street between Fifth Avenue and Lenox Avenue
----------------------------
Backyard composting workshop will get you all ready to start converting your
yard/garden waste and kitchen scraps into a rich organic fertilizer to feed back
to your plants, just like nature intended! Workshop will cover composting
basics, set-up options, compost application, and troubleshooting. NYC-specific
composting issues will also be addressed. Outdoor compost bins will be available
for purchase at a reduced price. Registration is required. Workshop fee $5 per
person, cash only. Hosted by the Lower East Side Ecology Center.
FYI: I heard of a farmers market that was created with the help of the Council on the Environment of New York City (http://www.cenyc.org/greenmarket). They somehow set it up so that those on public assistance can use their cards for purchases...this would help those in need with regards to accessing fresh and healthy produce.
