Down to Earth Chelsea Farmer's Market at 23rd st and 9th ave), open from 9:00 am - 2:00 pm from late April to late December on Saturdays. A new organic no-spray farm called Berry Brook Farm from Hamden, NY has replaced echo creek at echo creek's recommendation with similar growing practices, with no sprays at all, better and fresher than organic produce in grocery stores that are less local and tend to have scheduled sprays. Fino Farms is also new, and specializes in orchard fruit, and also grows vegetables. Jersey Farm Produce is back again in 2023 and I believe is no-spray except for spray as needed for the apples which have no wax..
Orwashers is a NYC bakery at this market and was founded in year 1916, and has whole grain natural sourdough breads with local NY State and organic grains, and has baked goods and pastries brought fresh from the NYC bakery in the morning. The staff here is very knowledgeable about the ingredients and the craft of bread making, pastries, and varieties and sourcing of grains.
- 7/1/2023: favorites from Orwasher's are the spelt/whole wheat /millet/raisin/ sunflower seed unleavened bread, and the ultimate organic nys whole wheat loaves of bread.
- 7/1/2023: Now in the summer, Berry Brook Farm has a nice selection of gold potatoes, turnips, radishes, broccolini, mustard greens, tuscan kale, red beefsteak, german bicolor heirloom tomatoes, and many other no-spray vegetables, all displayed in wooden and metal crates.
