GREENMARKET IN WINDSOR TERRACE IS NOW OPEN YEAR-ROUND

The Bartel-Pritchard Square Greenmarket doesn't close in the winter anymore. As of today, the market is open all year long--on Wednesdays from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

The location of the greenmarket is Prospect Park West at 15th Street, inside the entrance of Prospect Park.

EBT/Food Stamps/Debit/Credit (8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.) and WIC & FMNP checks are accepted.

The last day of the 2014 season for the Windsor Terrace - P.S.154 Greenmarket will be Sunday, December 21st.

NO WT-P.S. 154 GREENMARKET TOMORROW

The Windsor Terrace-P.S. 154 Greenmarket has been canceled for tomorrow, Sunday, December 15th. Collection of food scraps and textile recycling has also been canceled. 

American Seafood will, however, be one of the vendors at the Cortelyou Greenmarket tomorrow. It's located at Cortelyou Road, between Argyle and Rugby, and will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

PUMPKIN RECYCLING

In addition to accepting the usual items for composting--fruit waste, vegetable waste, coffee grinds, coffee filters, tea, and stale bread--the Windsor Terrace-P.S. 154 Greenmarket will be accepting pumpkins and Jack O' Lanterns.

Starting this Sunday, November 3rd, from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m., bring your pumpkins and Jack O' Lanterns to the greenmarket to be turned into plant food.

If you bring Jack O' Lanterns, remove the candle first. Wax inhibits the microbes that help the composting process.
