GREENMARKET MOVES FROM WINDSOR TERRACE LIBRARY TO ALBEMARLE PLAYGROUND


Kensington Youthmarket, a greenmarket operated in Windsor Terrace by young folks since 2011, has moved to a new location. Formerly located next to the Windsor Terrace Library, which is currently closed for renovations, it's now located in front of Albemarle Playground on McDonald Avenue, between Albemarle Road and Caton Avenue.

It's open every Saturday through November 23rd, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Cash, SNAP/EBT, Debit/Credit, WIC, & Senior FMNP coupons are all accepted.

In addition to providing neighbors with a source of farm-fresh produce, Kensington Youthmarket is a source of employment for young people, providing them with seasonal employment and valuable job experience, educating them about health, nutrition, the environment, and regional agriculture.
