Kensington Farmstand
Saturdays, July 18th-November 21st, 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Kensington Youthmarket--whose name has been changed to Kensington Farmstand--will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. every Saturday from July 18th through November 21st.
Cash, SNAP/EBT, Debit/Credit, WIC, & Senior FMNP coupons will all be accepted there.
The market was located alongside the Windsor Terrace Library from 2011 through 2018. But in 2019, when the library closed for renovations, the market moved to a new location. It's now by Albemarle Playground, located on McDonald Avenue, between Albemarle Road and Caton Avenue, behind P.S. 230.
In addition to providing our neighborhood with farm-fresh produce, Kensington Farmstand is a source of employment for young people, providing them with seasonal employment and valuable job experience while educating them about health, nutrition, the environment, and regional agriculture.
