Looking for locally−grown, fresh fruits and vegetables? You’re in luck! This Saturday is opening day for a new Youthmarket farm stand in Kensington/Windsor Terrace.
Youthmarket, a program of GrowNYC, is a network of youth-run farm stands where local teens sell fresh and affordable fruits and vegetables grown by area farmers. In response to a request from neighborhood residents, I am pleased to partner with GrowNYC to bring Youthmarket to our community this summer:
- What: Kensington Youthmarket Farm Stand
- When: Saturdays, 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. (July 9th through October 29th); Grand Opening this Saturday (July 9th), 10 a.m.
- Where: Fort Hamilton Parkway, between E. 4th and E. 5th (in front of the public library)
I hope you will join me this Saturday, and Saturdays throughout the summer, to meet these young people and buy locally−grown, farm−fresh produce.
A special thank you to everyone who has made this program possible:
