Smaller farmer's market but well curated. This market has a nicely rounded variety of organic and non-organic but conscientiously raised produce, plus a satisfying array of artisan produced breads, cheeses, pickles, olive oil, kimchee, and tempeh from Barry the tempeh guy.
Conscientiously raised poultry & eggs, and charcuterie are also available
.
I don't know the folks who organize this farmer's market personally, but I know they work hard to make it useful and inviting to a wide demographic and a focal point for local commerce and positive change.
Before the neighborhood had municipal composting there were compost collection bins on farmer's market days, which I think were courtesy of the Lower East Side Ecology Center (If I'm wrong, my apologies). There is currently a garment donation area during market, and usually some tastefully handled (non-invasive) live music playing while people shop and talk under the trees and around the colonnade.
I really appreciate this market and await their return in warmer months.
