SUNDAY FARMERS' MARKET AT P.S. 154

Last summer on Saturdays, GrowNYC brought a farmers' market (the Kensington Youthmarket) to Fort Hamilton Parkway at E. 5th Street. This summer, GrowNYC would like to bring a farmers' market to the front of P.S. 154 on Sundays.

The first step in getting the farmers' market is to tell Community Board 7 that Windsor Terrace residents want it--by writing a brief letter of support to the board. That will pave the way for GrowNYC to present a proposal at the community board meeting in mid-April.

SAMPLE LETTER
March 17, 2012

Jeremy Laufer, District Manager
Brooklyn Community Board 7
4201 4th Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11232  

Dear Mr. Laufer,

I am writing in support of Windsor Terrace establishing a Greenmarket outside of P.S. 154 on Sundays, starting this summer. A greenmarket at that location would greatly benefit this community. I would shop there.

Thank you for taking the time to consider this matter.

Sincerely,
