Jackson Heights Greenmarket

I love to come here every week and get a nice pastry and some groceries. All the vendors are super lovely and kind. I especially love the bakery here, they have some amazing things and I highly recommend trying them out. I recently had the cornbread and it was the perfect mix of grainy and moist and just a little sweet.

One the best farmers markets in Queens! I have been coming for years what's great is they are now year round. Great variety of grass fed meats, cheeses, dairy, fish, bread and produce. My favorite vendor is Di Polla Turkey, American Price Seafood and Ronnybrook Dairy. There are multiple bread and vegetable stands I try to rotate since I like to support everyone. Thank you for the farmers who bring great products. I highly recommend a visit!

Spectacular selection of farmers. Tamales are phenomenal

Absolutely love this greenmarket, you smell the freshness of the fruits and vegetables....

Arrive early and make sure to try the local food!

Lovely farmers market in the heart of Jackson Heights! Great selection of fruits and vegetables.

Great variety, tasting and communication. Good for family. Many seats in plaza and park. Very lively place for the neighborhood.

Very great place in good area located., They have a nice selection on tomatoes... Also wines

This is one of my favorite green markets to go to in Queens. They usually have a large selection of fresh produce, lavender, fresh baked goods, fresh fish, honey and selection of yogurts. They are only open on Sundays so make sure to make it early to get all these great products. My favorite reason to go is to interact with the workers. My favorite employee is Pierina; she would always have a smile on her face and was always available to help. When I didn't have cash, she would help me with the debit and credit tokens. I have not seen her in a while so I am wondering what happened to her since she has been working there every Sunday since I can remember. I will try to locate her at other green markets.

Out of all the green markets in Queens I feel like the Jackson Heights location that is open Sunday only is the best. I try to come every Sunday to take a look at the offerings. My favorite item during the summer is the corn on the cob. And during the fall and winter I like the apples Ambrosia is my favorite. Is it expensive yes but so is every other Green Market.

A lovely farmers market for sunday mornings. Stalls sell a pretty good variety of fruit, veggies, fresh herbs, cheese and other dairy, and baked goods. I come to buy fresh fruit and herbs, and sometimes pick up a few baked treats as well. There's also a booth selling seasonal flowers.

This is a review solely to GROWNYC the organization that organizes Jackson Heights market during COVID-19. I've been going to Jackson Heights market for more than seven years and love that we have access to fresh produce however our life changed drastically this year and that reflects on how farmers markets GROWNYC conducts business. These are some of the changes and issues I have mentioned and hope will be helpful to you: 1. Not all vendors list their prices and they change/ charge depending of your ethnicity. If you are Latino and speak Spanish you can get away with good deal from some of the farmers as price is not listed. 2. You are not allowed to touch produce the staff that picks up the produce for you is not very sufficient and if you don't speak Spanish is a bit difficult to communicate. I've end up with cucumbers and zucchini that had to be tossed in the trash in a day after purchase. I wonder why we can pick up our produce in supermarkets but GROWNYC doesn't allow us to pick our produce at their markets. Are the regulations different or COVID is dangerous for outdoors markets and not so much inside supermarkets? 3. Once your purchases are gathered in bags they are placed in basket by the staff behind the register while you pay. Do check your purchases because I end up spending $7 on tomatoes that were missing in the bag. Yes I know it's my fault that I didn't double check when I picked up from the basket after I paid but if I'm supporting local farmers it's two way street and trust should be solid. 4. When you pick up your produce take your time and do not allow the staff that places your purchases in bags to rush you! 5. Make sure you check the cost of produce and if the staff calculates it correctly. 6. If you have issues or problems with your purchases do not expect that GROWNYC will help you resolve the issue/problems. Make sure you double check your purchases and you are charged correctly regardless how many people are online and the farmers are trying to rush you. 5. Be prepared to wait so plan accordingly after all we have restricted pandemic lifestyle. I have contacted GROWNYC via social media in regards of missing purchases from their vendor they ignored me as well as the person appointed at the market. I hope by sharing my last month farmers market experience is helpful to all of you.

Another great find in the greatest borough in the world. Open only Sundays but year-round, 8am to 2pm. Tons of variety. Loaded up on vegetables for Thanksgiving dinner. Also got a fantastic San Francisco sourdough that was the best I've had outside of SF. The lines for the tamales were unfortunately a little too long for us, but it just gives us more incentive to come back. The only complaint I have is that certain stands are somewhat disorganized. That's it. Otherwise this is a fantastic green market.

Smaller than the Saturdays Union Square Farmers' Market but also packed with lots of variety! I enjoy visiting this farmers' market because of the variety of produce brought to the local street(s). One can find anything from flowers to herbs, spices, fruits, veggies, apple cider, Korean pastes, free samples, vegan baked goods, breads, cookies, fish, duck and other poultry, pig products, beef, assorted mushrooms, tamales (the one closer to 78th street is best, but if you're up for a sweet or dessert tamale, go to the lady on 80th), booze, syrups, honeys, NYC groups that take used clothing and textiles, compost, and a recycling book stand where anyone can take, swap, or donate books. It's also one block away from Travers Park which was recently updated. Great place to go for a stroll and enjoy. Happy shops!

Great market. Except for the witch at the coins desk. She needs a course in customer service. I stopped by there to use my debit card in exchange for coins. DEBIT not EBT....making it clear. The vendor that sells apple cider donuts only accepts cash or coins. She told me to join the line. Um! There was no line. He lost a sale and she should work behind a wall not facing customers.

The Jackson Heights Greenmarket is only open on Sundays. Come early to get your greens. There are limited supplies like Dandelion. Only three bunches to select from. Do not know it they in season or not. Some items are very expensive like fresh ginger. Definitely it's the season for apples. Prices are reasonable for seasonal items. Samples are ample for everyone to try. Very laid back shopping here. This is a small farmer's market in Queens situated around a park. Lots of patrons from the neighborhood with their dogs shopping around. Had fun time just walking around and sitting on bench and just people watching. Nice break and getaway from it all. More booths for sweets and bread. Will be back again.

Local farmers markets are a great way to add variety to your diet and support a more diverse agricultural system. The Jackson Heights Greenmarket is a popular and good sized market in Jackson Heights on Sunday mornings. The vendors surround Travers Park with their booths. On my trip, I saw a wide variety of options. They have lots of local seasonal fruits and vegetables including options to use SNAP with bonus vouchers to buy more healthy foods. There are several meat and cheese vendors for some great local Sunday dinner options. Several other artisanal vendors have other food and craft items. While not the biggest, this one is in a area that needs and appreciates the option. Even visitors like me can grab some fresh options to avoid eating pizza for every meal!

Awesome variety and great prices. Cheaper than Union square and and much easier to get parking. I picked up some fresh carrots for $2.50 a bunch. That is cheaper than Fairways and my local market. Today they had some food vendors and th best one was the lady with the grilled Mexican corn on corner of 78th Ave and 34th Ave. The corn was devoured by my daughter and at $2.50 it's CHEAP! Looking to come back regularly!

I LOVE this Greenmarket! I'm there pretty much every Sunday. This is where I get my weekly veggies, eggs, milk, and whatever else I'm in the mood to pick up. There are meats, fruits, veggies, cheeses, spices, baked goods, and even wine. You can stop by and get everything you need for an entire meal. And great recipes as well. They also have workshops that show people how to prepare certain foods. Which is a great thing for many people new to cooking or seeing produce new to them. The staff is nice. The farmers are friendly and always ready to answer any questions we have. From my understanding most of these farms do no use pesticides. And the ones that do, use them around the times that it would not affect the produce, called IPM. It's basically organic without being certified organic. But don't take my word for it, go and have a talk with the farmers who are actually growing the food. Education is power. Go check out the market. It's great.

No certified organic produce And the apple cider donut I bought from Francesca's was stale stale stale. It tasted like it was left over from the previous weekend!

I make my way to Jackson Heights Greenmarket on Sundays after my pilates class when I'm in pain and hungry. Food & sweets cheers me up. The Greenmarket has grown year over year and is now open YEAR ROUND from 8am to 3pm. The Greenmarket has textile recycling as well as Wine, Cheese, Seafood, Lamb, Farm Grass Fed Angus Beef, Turkey, Artisanal Breads, Organic Veggies, Honey, Baked Goods, Apple Cider, and Dairy. More info here - http://www.grownyc.org/node/278 For Textile Recycling - they accept unwanted clean clothing, paired shoes, bedding, linens, hats, handbags, belts and other textiles. More info here - http://www.grownyc.org/clothing Location: Outside Travers Park 34th Ave b/t 77th & 78th St Jackson Heights, Queens Worth a trip if you're in the neighborhood. I usually pick up wine, cheese, turkey, apple cider, and their organic veggies. Tip: Go early as there is usually limited supply (esp for the meats).

The Greenmarket is the busiest in Queens. On Sunday the traffic gets pretty heavy with everyone stopping to see what is fresh. Today I was hunting for "Honeycrisp" apple; as recommended by Yelper Helen Y. I have been searching several Greenmarkets but have not found them. Today I found them and got a taste of Honeycrisp apples and it is very good! The Honeycrisp is little like a cross between Fuji, Granny Smith and Ambrosia, rosy in color, very juicy, very sweet but crispier then a Fuji with a slight tartness of the Granny Smith. This Greenmarket is in the heart of Jackson Heights and visited my many ethnic groups. The farmer stalls are setup on the edge of Traverse Park and 78th Street is shut downed during the Greenmarket period as a "playstreet: for kids, family to enjoy. This opened opportunities ofr local mom & pop food vendors to sell some tasty snack, chicken and specialty Mexican produces. Today's harvest is huge fresh apples (all $1 a pound!), radishes the sizes of cue balls (slice & pan fried with butter Oh baby!), squash (for spicy Thai soap) and red beets (Borscht Da!). JH Greenmarket Schedule: Sundays, June 6 through Dec. 19 8am-3pm

I head over to greenmarket at least once a month to get milk and yogurt. There's isn't a huge variety of products to choose from especially since we always manage to get there when they're about to close. I do like their blueberry pies and the prices are pretty good for the size.

I love living in beautiful tree lined jackson-heights. And the Farmers market is a bonus. It's my favorite thing to do on a Sunday morning. Love the flowers and the fresh veggies there. Always buy my apples and maple syrup from there.

The Jackson Heights Greenmarket, open on Sundays year-round is pretty decent. Let's get serious, it's nothing compared to the Union Square Greenmarket which stretches multiple blocks. But what's there? There is a cheese man (goat and dairy), plenty of produce (fruits & vegetables) and meats, an organic produce stand (yay), juices (pasteurized), and baked goods but sadly not gluten free. But my favorite part of the Greenmarket are two tamales vendors that are on the sidewalk next to the Greenmarket. I can buy a bean tamale for $1.50! I like a little veggies and green tomatillo sauce plus a little red hot sauce too on top hahahaha! It doesn't get better than that. But you must go before noon otherwise, they're sold out of all tamales, vegetarian and non-vegetarian.

Another thing I love about this neighborhood! Unlike other farmers markets in the city this one is year round. So it's awesome for getting seasonal fresh produce, fresh seafood, and all sorts of other market goodies.

These are one of these places that I wish I discovered when I first moved to Queens. Being that I am trying to eat much more healthy than I used to, this place is perfect - they have all your veggies, fruits, meats, eggs, bread products, and milk from local farmers. You may pay slightly more, but you get to support a local farmer over some corporate chain that probably does terrible things to its animals and crops in order to sell it for less while still pulling in a huge profit. I hope to be a regular Sunday customer. You should too. You will feel better about yourself after shopping here. Bring greenbacks, plastic is not welcome here (that includes plastic bags).

Fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, cheese, juices and more.. Lots to love about this weekend market!

Best place to stroll, shop and chat with neighbors on a Sunday morning. Dependable and delicious, rain, sleet, snow or stifling humidity, the farmers and workers share weekly wares and let us sample a few treats. They even remembered my mom on Mother's day and gave her a few extra snacks.

Jackson Heights geenmarket is a great place to spend a Sunday afternoon . located on the corner of 34rg Ave and 78th St., it's nicely tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Jackson Heights. The market is open throughout the year and offers a wide selection of seasonal produce, eggs, dairy, meats, breads and bee products. Thought it's on the smaller side, there is an incredible assortment of goods and the prices are fairly low, especially call compared to some of the other markets in the area. My favorite offerings include the honey, cheese and apples (hello samples!)

Ialways wanted to stop here since I'm in the neighborhood. I know I'm Honda pay more for home grown stuff but these prices are sick. I thought they were using euros for currency. $6 for a dozen eggs. Comm'on dude give me a break. Maybe they were golden eggs. $10 bucks for a small piece of cows cheese. I'll take my Italian deli any day over these guys. Maybe that's why there weren't that many people there. It used to be Crowded but who can afford these prices. Where were the tomatos, lettuce, potatoes, and all the other staples. It cost to much to be that healthy give me a baconator please!!!!

Glad that this greenmarket is up and running. It gets bigger every year. The produce is very seasonal, and the vendors are all local. If more people would use it, I am sure the market would add even more items. Let's make this happen! I've bought amazing baked goods, the sweetest peaches, the reddest beets, the most fragrant herbs, etc, from here. I would echo the concern about getting there early. Vendors do not bring a large supply (due to unpredictable demand) so the produce gets picked over very quickly. Get there before 10AM for sure!

After an iffy start, this farmer's market seems to have hit it's stride! Now in it's 3rd year (maybe fourth?) there still aren't a huge amount of vendors, but they definitely cover all the bases now, including all your veggies, fruit, some baked goods, a mushroom stand(!), eggs, preserves, fish, and poultry. I was especially pleased to see a couple of Latino (specifically Mexican) grocers. I was able to pick up a half pound of squash blossoms for $6.00 and the squat round calabacitas whose flesh is firmer and less watery than Italian zucchini. It was great to get "specialty" ingredients at non-Union Square Greenmarket prices. It also helped that I only had to walk four blocks there and back. If you're a Queens resident, definitely check this place out. It's relatively calm in the morning, but by noon it's bustling with activity.

So disappointed see this place has become so overpriced recent years- $7 for dozen free range eggs and $7 for bottled 1-liter size milk. Ah the premium just to shop in farmer market these days! If only somebody please bring back the old middle man to keep these farmers gr$$d in check! Also used to be lot more immigrants and minorities in the crowd shopping but now its mostly hipsters and wine/cheese crowds reflexively throwing money anything that moves. Sorry I'll be shlepping to Whole foods for the savings.

This farmer's market is sprawling during the summer! I was a little taken aback by how sprawling and lively it was, because when I was apartment hunting in the wee early months of 2014, I saw three tables with food and some trucks. Okay. The vegetables here are FRESH. So much you want to slap the person selling them to you. I've gotten broccoli and carrots here, and they're superior than even the overpriced share you'd get at a Whole Foods. This is why shopping local is important. The fruits are a little on the pricy side, with good reason. So happy to live right near a farmer's market. So happy for zucchini cake (I call it bread to make it seem less decadent and more healthy) I can buy on Sundays.

The Fish Stand from Long Island is OUTSTANDING!! Best Fresh local scallops "OUTSTANDING", clams "OUTSTANDING" and fresh fish "OUTSTANDING". Best you can get without the trip to a Fishing Port in Long Island.... I Gave this Market Only 4 stars because it has a lack of variety of organically green produce, organically grown fruit.. I Love it for the Fish, Meat, Eggs, Milk, Honey, and Bread. Which is a treat because I find it fresher then the supermarket variety in the neighborhood.

I love living so close to this Sunday green market. Farmers and vendors are nice and knowledgeable and as a cook it's always nice to have inspiration only a few steps away.

Although it's not very big*, this Greenmarket is great to have in the neighborhood! I enjoy the walk here on Sunday mornings to peruse the offerings of the week, and usually can't resist picking up something from Hot Bread Kitchen. (HELLO Chocolate Cherry Bread!) Prices at the vendors can sometimes be on the spendier side, but I suppose it's worth it for the quality and the cause. Props to them for having environmental initiatives like providing textiles recycling, rechargeable battery recycling, and food scrap composting drop-offs! ---------- *They have longer hours and more vendors in the summer months.

I am a huge, flaming fan of our local greenmarket for sure, however, I hesitate to swipe the cursor over the star panel all the way to 5 stars or whatever. Here's why: It is too crowded, do you hear me? There are too many people and we are all on top of each other and someone keeps buying all of my favorite things before i get there and whoever that is has to go, leave, I mean it.

I went here with my boyfriend excited to get fresh meats and produce since the supermarkets around our area are limited. We found a great variety which was surprising for a local farmer's market. We stopped by a booth with a large meat selection from Sawkill Farms. All prices marked were for a pound, but the vendor didn't have any packages that were weighed out to a pound. It was our first go so we wanted to give a few things a try before actually getting a large selection. None the less, we got about 2lbs of short ribs and burger patties. Excited. When we got home, we wanted to defrost and cook the ribs. The ribs were packaged on April 14th and then just vacuum sealed and frozen over. We were a bit hesitant hoping we would get fresh meat, but since it was vacuum sealed, we didn't think it would be a huge deal. We cooked the ribs after defrosting them and we took our first bite... ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. It was chewy from meat cartilage, full of disgusting fat and had about 5% actual meat. We had throw it out. The meat was also not even great. It was dry and rough. We would have more success just going to a regular supermarket and avoiding this cost. It made me gag in my mouth.

Jackson heights market is an Organic food spot, cheese, wine, meat, greens- cash only. In a neighbor that is over crowded, with bad dirty groceries stores. This market is a breath of fresh air!!! ;) check it out...

If you live in the area, you should visit the Green Market every Sunday (from 9-3ish). It's so wonderful to have something like this in your neighborhood. Everyone is so nice and the goods are so varied - from produce to fish to meat to milk to honey to maple syrup to herbs to eggs... It's really not a huge amount more money to purchase your vegetables from the market rather than the grocery store, on average the produce are maybe $1 more each, plus or minus? I can't say for the meat because I haven't yet made that jump. But the benefit to the earth and to the community is truly, to quote Mastercard albeit in a realistic and meaningful way, priceless.

I love this place. Here is where I buy yogurt and milk. I also get organic eggs here as well as fresh loaves of whole wheat bread here. I love the DiPaola turkey sausage. It is great for breakfast/brunch at home. Sometimes, when I am feeling adventurous, I get the knishes. :) I like this one stand in the front that has millions of hot pockets of eggplant and medallions of pizza-like toppings, the frosting covered almond danishes and coffee crumb cake. I feel torn staring at the myriad of sugary options to fill my tummy for the week. Sometimes, through sheer will power, I walk away and just dream of stuffing myself silly with their chocolate cookies and blueberry and apple pies. As I walk further inside, I spy jam or jelly? Blueberry, blackberry, grape, all kinds. I should mention that I saw some righteous veggies that I never tried or heard of. Kohlrabi? Someday. Purple carrots. Just you wait. Quinze? I will eat you!

We love this place. Not only can you bring your compost and textile scraps, the produce is outstanding. After buying asparagus here, I can NOT buy it at the grocery store near us - the freshness was remarkable. THINGS YOU SHOULD BUY HERE: - All your produce. Well, a lot of it. It's really delicious. - Greens - there's one farm that brings pea shoots and sunflower shoots and they are amazing. They also have a great variety of potted herbs in the spring/early summer months! - MILK - Ronnybrook milk. It's incredible. You won't believe how much better fresh milk tastes compared to what we're used to in grocery stores. Show up early, though - they may sell out of whatever kind you want! - Beef - I don't eat much meat anymore, which my beef-loving boyfriend doesn't care for; however, we've bought ground beef (both the grain-finished and the grass-fed) and he swears he can taste the difference and really loves it. - Fish - definitely worth it, but get it early! - Eggs - fresh eggs are amazing! It seems like this market has gotten more crowded in the past few months, but we haven't been going there long enough to say that there has been a change in attendance for sure. I'm THRILLED(!!!) that lots of people show up, but the sidewalk is small, and there are always a good number of young children and strollers, and so it's a little slow getting around to the different stands sometimes. My only bad experience here has been with rude fellow shoppers, which I really find sad and unfortunate.

So I live a block away from this market and it's just a great thing esp. living in the suburbs most of my life, it just brings me back to those good ole days. Open on Sundays year round this is a great place for the community to buy local veggies/fruits and other cool/organic products. I'm headed there now actually to grab some veggies/fruits to throw in the juicer, the juicer that I maybe used 3x in 4 months smh but nevertheless it's fun to operate. 4 stars, I'm a fan, yay.

Posted as actually closing @ 2 in winter, and likely earlier based on the week. Visited in February when they just had 3 vendors (Hot Bread Kitchen, seafood, meat) and were posted up along the sidewalk. Great option for the area, and imagine the selection and energy improve when the weather does.

I love getting my great greens early in the morning when it opens! I wished we had more days a week than just sundays! Love my seasonal veggies too!

not union sq but best farmer market in queens, best for: red meat, duck, eggs, dairy, honey, vegetables, fish

I'm just glad there is some effort put into the greenmarket here. I don't think I'll have a fair review because I dropped by on a HOT day, and all the greens are wilted and yellowing. The carrots and beets, however, looked fresh and delicious. There weren't too many stands there. I would say about ten or so and they sold similar veggies. There is a fish stand that wasn't getting a lot of business, and also a local bakery stand that was. I guess Jackson Heighters prefer brownies over sea bass. :) I

Where to begin? I love everything about this place, from the lovely woman who sells the tokens (with which you buy stuff) to the duck lady, mushroom man, great produce people, vermont cheese guy, the dairy farmers who refill our glass milk bottles, the vendors chanting "tamale tamale" or "arepa arepa", seeing neighbors every Sunday, the slow pace, families out together doing what we're doing - buying fresh local food, supporting our local economies. One of the absolute best things about Jackson Heights.

The only year round farmers market in Queens. When I lived in the area I was here almost every Sunday. American Seafood out of Long Island, fresh produce, turkey, beef...its a must stop if you're interested in what you eat

I found out about this place via JH's forums. It's a nice place to buy local foods and support non-corporate farmers. The prices are little high compared to something like the Met, but at least it's going to good use. They have grass fed meats and fresh seafood!

So happy to have this place! Open every Sunday all year round! I finally found a spit I can count on regularly to stock up for the week, fresh great produce from local ny/nj farms. Everything from the help stand to the dairy, honey, meat, breads, fruits, veggies and even wine! Happy to come every Sunday with my dog. They do educational promotion around healthy eating too! They also offer textile recycling - I will be bringing a blouse I accidentally ruined while ironing. And they take my compost! Love love love this place!

This is awesome! The farmers are hereeee!!! I used to go here when it was only open during the right seasons. I am so happy to know that I can get farm fresh stuff all year round now. The baked goods are amazing also I can never get enough foccicia or pies along with my veggies!! Right next to the park I grew up in makes this a super plus!

First time going to it and might not be the last. Went just now, in the fall. It was really cold, but a lot of them were still there. They were even selling Christmas trees! They didn't have everything I needed, but they did have a lot of variety. Glad they accept Snap EBT card and credit cards. Still looking for alternatives that are closer to where I live, but you should definitely give this farmers market a try, especially if you live nearby.

it is a cool addition to the neighborhood. yeah the produce is good, blah blah.... bottom-line you can get good produce in Jackson heights...just go to the Indian markets. noW, the best food stand is the bread/ pastry stand which sells out quickly so get there early. love the chicken pot pie! when i lived around the corner it was really dangerously addictive.

LOVE this market! great amount of vegetables, fruits, eggs, cheese, dairy, meat, fish, honey, and more. I love the smaller size and smaller crowds however there is still a good amount of people. I will be going every sunday for sure!

great selection. fresh local produce, meats and cheeses. get there early as it can get crowded. Cash and EBT cards accepted. Makes for a great Sunday morning outing.
