Forest Hills Greenmarket

I don’t know how I had missed this market before. It has a great selection of fresh vegetables and friendly vendors. This is my go to place!

I'm done better go trade joe.

Wow.. all fresh farm grown vegetables, puts supermarkets to shame.The best. So fresh, bright colored veggies & fruit. Prices went up since last year,but hey what hasn't. This october 2021 numerous vendors are selling items such as eggs,bread beef even fresh fish,candles,hand rolled cigars, spices,clothing, scissors,handbags,flowers. You name it....t's probably here. If your hungry, food trucks are here too. Definitely a great way to spend a Sunday. People are so nice & friendly. Sitting area near by in case you want to try that candy apple or shiskabab. Dont forget to stop & see the balloon man who makes swords, animals,hats.& so much more. So enjoyable.

Consistently good. My wife buys the veggies, I pick up interesting cuts of meat like lamb heart, tongue and beef liver. Support local farms and buy from your local Greet Markets.

Great spot to spend Sunday morning. It’s so much fresh organic produce milk products meats baked goods bread seafood and much much more . They also take SNAP

This isn’t the best or largest farmers market, but it gets the job done and is a convenient location. There were a few stands that didn’t have the freshest produce with overripe fruits or had limited selection but you can get the essentials you need from the bigger stalls. Some places are cheaper than others so make sure to look around

Great selection of fresh fruits, spices and vegetables. Little disappointed that none of the vendors had kale or did I find any lemons left at the time I was there. Maybe getting there earlier next time I'll find what I was looking for. Some vendors only took cash so be prepared with cash but for the most part some accept cards.

The freshest. Wish there were more vendors, everything I buy there is the best

Cool little farmers market near the post office in Forest Hills, Lots of vendors with seasonal produce and few food trucks and food vendors. Plus the usual suspects in terms of crafts etc. Near subway stops and for me had a cloth donation kiosk which made it much easier for me at least to donate my late sisters clothes

This Farmer's Market is fortunately open year round! Most of the same stands are there every time, but there are a few that are only there certain Sundays. It's located in a good neighborhood with a park right next to it so you can stroll through and (not) feed the birds. If you have EBT they can convert it to their currency so you can use it at the produce stands, even giving you bonus currency to spend. A few stands you'll see have fresh dairy products, honey, lavender, soaps, seafood, Mushrooms, turkey, seasonal fruits and vegetables and so much more. This is a great way to support local farms instead of company owned markets.

Stopped by the Bread Alone stand last Sunday. So glad to hear that this stand is going to be here every Sunday year round! My bf got the seasonal muffin today, which is something I've never tried so I wanted to hop on and write another small review. The seasonal muffin (Dec 2020) was a lemon muffin. We heated it up in the toaster before trying it and the warm interior along with zesty flavor and other christmassy spices warmed my mouth. It reminded me a lot of a muffin version of the Starbucks lemon pound cake -- so fluffy and fresh. This muffin is definitely a lot less sweet than some of their other pastries, so I'd highly recommend it to those who have less of a sweet tooth!

It's such a pleasure having a farmers market so close to home. I've often wanted to get some fresh veggies but often worried about commuting home from Union Square with bags of heavy fruit and vegetables so this is great for those who live in Forest Hills, Kew Gardens, and Rego Park. The market is open once a week. You can get fresh veggies (kale, carrots, tomatoes, onions, peppers), eggs, fresh bread, seafood, fruit, and meats. The market is bit small compared to those in Manhattan and Brooklyn but it's perfect for grabbing the essentials for a weeks worth of food. I left with a giant bundle of kale ($2/bunch), some wonderful peaches (mango peaches), warm whole wheat bread ($5) corn (2 stalks for $1) and tomatoes. If you live in the area stop by before winter and get some pesticide free veggies.

A little bit of everything exists at this green market. This green market is not one of the larger ones, there generally isn't more than one vendor of any given speciality, butthere is a little bit of everything here. Fresh dairy, vegetables, cheeses, organic meat, fresh turkey, seafood, and bread are some of the standard fare available at this market. The shopping can be kinda tough during peak times, with long lines and tight shopping lanes but if you get here early you'll have a far better shopping experience and more choices. There isn't much parking nearby as free Sunday parking rules pretty much make finding a spot tough close by.

Farmers market there on Sunday morning. If you want to get good milk make sure you get there early they run out of it really fast. Always plenty of fresh organic produce, bread, eggs, meat, cheese, honey and freshest seafood you can find

I have been coming here for the last few years on and off. Tons of fresh produce. It can be a little pricey, but you do get what you pay for. I wish there was a little bit more space to walk around, however.With the tents on the sidewalk, there is little room to walk without bumping into others.

Love this farmer's market! Beautiful selection of fresh fruits and veggies. Also the bread stand is mouth watering. You must try their Lemon Currant Scone. The market has vendors with fresh fish, meats, cheeses and pickles! Just got some delicious jalapeño garlic pickles today. And raw honey. The only thing missing is someone who sells maple syrup and jams! Really great market, great selection and great people.

Honestly what is not to love? This started off as a smallish Farmers Market but it has now grown to be a VERY good one. It is open every Sunday of the year 8-3 but don't get there at 3 and expect to get much. My favorites are Garden of Eve (organic produce from Riverhead), Goodale Farms (Dairy and Produce from Suffolk), American Seafood (fresh caught off of Long Island), B & Y Farms (All sorts of Organic meats) and Ronnybrook Dairy. Goodale Farms - Must try the Feta and Mozzarella. American Seafood - Everything is fresh and there is a big taste difference between what you get here and at a fish store. We get the scallops almost religiously at this point. B & Y Farms - Not cheap but well worth it. The meats are all super fresh. We love their Red Meat and Sausage but they have a large variety.

This is a farmer's market on the Queens Blvd side of the park. Open Sundays. There were about 30 stands. Food, clothing, masks, jewelry, etc. Might be fun to browse. I saw a spice stall that looked interesting. There wasn't much fresh produce though.

it is relatively small farmers market but decent enough to get what we need as a small family (just my husband, 2 year old child and me) My usual weekly picks are pickles, fresh coat/cow milks, almond flour pound cake, seasonal veggies. i also believe it would be great experience for my toddler to shop at local farmer's market and great source of getting to know different types of in season veggies

To have a greenmarket right across the street from home (although calling Queens Boulevard a street is underestimating its breadth) is a luxury that I never even considered when I moved to the area. Yet here I am, and there it is. And even better, GrowNYC's Forest Hills location for a greenmarket is one of the year-round ones, open every Sunday from 8 AM to 3 PM. Relatively small but well-represented, with dairy, vegetables, fruits, meats, seafood, honey, wine, jams, pickles, cheeses, breads and baked goods. Seasonally, there may be yarn, horseradish, and mushrooms. A favorite is Ronnybrook for delicious yogurts and yogurt drinks, butters, and a surprisingly wide range of ice cream flavors (e.g. coconut, ginger, blueberry, toasted hazelnut, raspberry, etc). Terhune Orchards has delicious and well-priced apple pies. Red Jacket has more than just fresh apples, apple juices, and ciders in their arsenal (hint, the apricot stomp is fantastic). Blue Oyster Cultivation has gorgeous oyster mushrooms, although they just happen to not be there when I needed them! (proof that I haven't learned to shop a greenmarket yet). And you might not even notice Dipaola's sausages are made from turkey. As a small neighborhood greenmarket, its a neighborhood crowd that is shopping and browsing. Space can be tight, traffic very slow-moving, but its awesome to see the locals out and many are quite friendly. Located on the corner of Queens Boulevard (south side) at 70th Avenue, the vendor stands essentially surrounding the US Postal Service branch there. Look for the pointed white tent tops.

Just a gem of a market. Yes, a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. The produce, bread, dairy, meats, fish are al fresh. The bread stand and Ronnybrook are our weekly stops!

Not a huge market compared to others, but there are loads of items to satisfy. Lots of produce to choose from; kale, onions, berries, lettuce, corn....the list goes on. There are also baked goods, meat, local honey, juices, and more. I just love coming home and making dinner using all the fresh ingredients, it makes such a difference to the flavor of your meals. The market runs every Sunday through the end of the year. It's a great reason to break out those shopping totes and check it out.

I love the seafood stand. I always look forward every time I go and visit. The ladies are helpful and friendly. Always give me tips... am grateful they are there every week. Been telling friends and families if they want fresh seafood that is the place to go.

This is a very specific review regarding one vendor...The fish monger...Walking by the market I noticed a young lady laying out trays of fish filets directly behind the idling van...Plumes of exhaust fumes were permeating the fish (a different type of smoking)...I engaged her and said that the handling was not right...She said sorry but it is 2 degrees so we keep the van running...A very flippant response...I wonder if unsuspecting purchasers would find that acceptable...A breach of trust and blatant disregard for the customers!!...I would certainly stay away.

We went and bought divine brine pickles, they are divine indeed. We also got mini plums, beets, onions and onions, all straight from farmers super fresh and half the price you get at supermarket. One negative- very hard to get parking.

Really great market! I just wish the composting area opened at 8am like the rest of the market. I'm glad it's open again but some of us do go to the market very early or have work and want to compose to help the environment.

We caught the tail-end of the Greenmarket this past Sunday but were lucky enough to discover Divine Brine Pickles! These pickles are Incredible! Jalapeno My FAV. Crunchy, sweet yet ends with a fiery bite. Reminds me on Pickle Me Petes "Sweet Chipotle" (my current #1 Fav Pickle). Wasabi I keep referring to this as horseradish because he's sweet, tangy - a lil honey mustardy almost with a kick. But it's actually Wasabi and Boy is it GOOD! Horseradish Although this is fantastic and I would easily buy a bucket of this, the prior two flavors blows this out of the water! Honey Hot Bread & Butter Insanely Spicy. Little mushy, prefer the Jalapeno Pickles This place didn't make me think twice about buying. Usually I'm there sampling going Ummmm... should I buy a quart? This place was like - Gimme 3 for $22! I don't know which flavors yet but I want 3! I love how close and accessible it is Vs the other Fair Pickle places that come every few months. Come Buy Pickles

I love, love, love that we have a green market in Forest Hills. I go here every Sunday to support the market and the local farmers & bakers. I love the bread stand which has tons of amazing breads & pastries to choose from. There are also tons of great fruit & veggies here. It's every Sunday but not in the winter so hurry on over before it's too late!

I love the Forest Hills farmers market I work down the block and stop by that location every Sunday They always have everything from fruits to veggies milk eggs honey and fresh bread Sometimes they even have fish And stop by the cakes and pie stand

I feel happy and honored that I live so close to the Forest Hills Greenmarket. Honestly, traveling to the Greenmarket makes my week. I look forward to the full array of yummy and fresh produce, as well as the FISH from the awesome fish monger. I have no complaints at all - everything is awesome. I love the mushroom vendor, the pickle guy, the honey, the salad greens/vegetables, the fresh fruit, the cheese, the bakeries, and the wine. This place has it all! I enjoy just wandering around Greenmarket, looking at the fresh produce. I am having pleasant memories of the place right now, just thinking about it.

I didnt even know we had a farmers market in my hood. I was in the area on Sunday and stopped by to check out the goods. Its not a big selection of vand I guess I got there late since a lot of stuff looked gone. I did buy some fresh juice and an apple walnut cake. When I have another free sunday I will come early to see what they have

It's about time that Forest Hills finally got a weekly Farmers Market! This market is located right on Queens Blvd, in the local street just outside the Post Office. The Post office is closed on Sunday's so great use of the block. Go to the vegetable stand on the corner, across from Bui Bella. Search through the corn and find only the good ones with no missing kernels. The sweetest corn every week. Trust me on this. Good find with the other vendors too, I finally found my Cinderella Pumpkin this year. The apple pie from the apple orchard (forget it's name), is awesome they use whole sliced apples that keep their form and it's a simple pie. Apples, great crust, and a little bit of lemon juice for a tartness. Not too sweet. I hope they return every spring. Right now they're schedule is EVERY SUNDAYS just after July 4th through November.

it's pretty awesome that we now have a small farmer's market in Forest Thrills. in Union Square, you always gotta fight your way past the Causeheads, and Jeremy Piven is not always around to save you! there's a solid mix of produce, baked goods, meat, seafood, honey/preserves/jams/jellies/syrup, and even alcohol. prices are fair and the vendors are pretty friendly. all of them come in from the greater metropolitan area or upstate NY. a fair amount of the stuff is organic, free-range, etc. - if that tickles your pickle. this was the first season they've had it, on Sundays from 8 AM to 3 PM, and it's ending November 18. I have a good feeling it'll return next year, as it's always busy. your best bet is to get there by 1 PM.

I'm obsessed with farmers markets. Love them. Love giving my money directly to the growers, even if it clears out my bank account every time I visit! This is the closest of the Greenmarkets to me so I try to hit it up at least once every two weeks. If I lived closer and if the prices were cheaper, I would for SURE be here every Sunday! You'd think that since there is no middle man that the prices would be less expensive! Honestly, I really don't care about that because the quality of the vendors here is excellent! No matter if it's early morning or almost closing time @ 3, it's always very crowded! Lots of rude people bumping into you and shoving. That really tests my patience! American Seafood sells out fairly quickly. They are always leaving early because they have no product left so get there super early if you want the freshest seafood. I really like Bread Alone. I've been buying from them for a while now. The lemon orange cranberry pound cake is to die for! The guy who runs the stand though could be a bit more customer friendly. He clearly saw me standing there but paid me no mind because he was gossiping with the vendor next to him. Divine Brine has the best wasabi pickles that I've ever had. My favorite vendor has to be Red Jacket Orchards. Their apples and juices are simply THE BEST!! I also love the Ronnybrook Farm Dairy stand but the two guys running it seemed spaced out. Couldn't answer a question of how one cheese tasted and couldn't give correct change. Nolasco's Farm has the best prices for produce. I wish I could remember which vendor I bought fresh corn from because it was the sweetest, most delicious corn that I've ever had!

The only reason I haven't assigned a 5* rating is because the market is small and limited. However, I have reason to believe it will expand as the season moves on so I look forward to updating the status. Otherwise, I have to say I totally dig this local - and green - fresh produce/goods spot in Forest Hills. It's early in the season, I know, but this has been the "go-to" spot for me and my husband after hitting the gym (on the corner), getting Belgian waffles (on the next corner) and doubling back for some locally grown/produced goods. The vendors are all super friendly and highly knowledgeable about their wares. You can get honey from Andrew's Local Honey from very specific areas like Union Square, Brooklyn and of course, spots in Queens. I'm also a fan of the Ronneybrook Farms vendor. I get their fresh milk and when I return with the empty bottle I get a nice discount on the next bottle ($1.50 OFF!). There's also another dairy vendor where I get fresh eggs and the most delicious fresh cheeses. Oh my. I can't wait to see what else moves in as the season progresses.

I LOVE that for the last couple years Forest Hills has had a farmers' market! I always try to come on the early side, before all the hagglers and double stroller-pushers arrive. My favorites are the heirloom tomatoes, perfectly ripe eggplant, corn in the husk, purple broccoli, and the crazy-colored peppers. In the fall, the apples are super crisp and divine. Okay and I can never resist at least one purchase from the Bread Alone stand...the ciabatta loaf is particularly heavenly ;) The only head-scratcher is that every single cashier at each tent says to me "do you want a bag?" No, I'd like to carry these three tomatoes and four peppers home in my hands. I might love the idea of farmers' markets and local produce but I'm not crunchy enough to carry those biodegradable totes.. I've never sampled them, but there's also wine, honey, fresh juices, fish, and meat. Wish this place was around a few years ago when I lived in the Yellowstone Blvd part of Forest Hills.

Some weekends they have a lot of different vendors and sometimes it's empty with only five vendors. Season will be ending soon unless the permit is extended. Gets very crowded and the space it very tight.

Love having this just steps from my home. While this is a small greenmarket, their offerings are still great. Meat, poultry, fish, bread, eggs, dairy, fruit, vegetables, herbs, plants, wine, flowers, and honey are all sold here depending on the season. In addition, some vendors have products like jams, pickles, soap, hand-dyed yarn, and baked goods. While some accept credit cards, be prepared to bring cash. You can also drop off your compost and textiles for recycling. Wish they had a coffee vendor here.

This market is great! Unique vegetables depends on the season purple and yellow cauliflower, purple finger potatoes and mini squash. Prices are reasonable considering you buy fresh organic products.

I love going early in the morning every Sunday to the farm market. I love buying fresh bread there and the very healthy yogurts. They even have fresh fish there which i never tried because of the lines that are there it must be good!

Has lots of fresh produce. They even have fresh honey! It could be a bit more cleaner, but overall a GREAT Farmers Market in a GREAT neighborhood.

I enjoy this market yet some stands need to work on their customer service skills. One stand had a kid working there and he was not very friendly when asked about a price of a veg that wasn't listed. Another stand the following week was annoyed when I asked for a product they didn't carry. Customers have a choice and usually buying local is a bit pricey so they should be nicer.
