Overview
In English and German (German see below / Deutsch siehe unten)
**Year Round / does not accept EBT Foodstamps**
**Open Sundays from 8AM - 6PM**
Shop local at the Greenmarket to keep NYC and its bioregion green. By shopping here, you will also be eating seasonally and reducing the impacts of transporting produce to your table. You will be supporting small family farmers as you experience the season's change and enjoy the scent of herbs and locally-grown flowers, too!
Greenmarkets provide farmers in the region with a chance to sell their produce directly to you, so it's fresher and more vitamin-rich. Every item has a clearly marked price (and there are end-of-the-day bargains, too). Produce that is organically grown or bio-dynamically raised is noted. Each Greenmarket is a great place to meet the people who grow your food – they are wonderful community gathering points, too.
Check the manager's table for information. Some locations accept drop offs of recyclable textiles or food scraps for composting. Others have cooking demonstrations, tastings, and other events. A few even sell produce grown inside NYC in a city farm, a new trend with many eco-benefits for the community!

**Ganzjährig / Akzeptiert keine EBT Essensmarken**
**Sonntags von 8 bis 18 Uhr geöffnet**
Gehen Sie beim Greenmarket lokal einkaufen um NYC und seine Bioregion grün zu halten. Hier erhalten Sie Lebensmittel der Saison und tragen auf diesem Wege dazu bei, die Belastungen durch den Transportweg niedrig zu halten. Mit dem Kauf unterstützen Sie kleine familienbetriebene Farmen, währenddessen sie die saisonale Vielfalt erkunden und die Düfte von Gewürzen und lokal gewachsenen Blumen genießen.
Greenmarkets bieten Farmern in der Region die Möglichkeit ihre Produkte direkt an Sie zu verkaufen, was die Ware frischer und vitaminreicher macht. Jedes Produkt hat seinen festgelegten Marktpreis (am Ende des Tages gibt es auch Angebote). Die Produkte sind bekannt dafür, dass sie organisch oder bio-dynamisch aufgezogen sind. Jeder Greenmarket ist ein großartiger Ort um Leute zu treffen, die Lebensmittel selbst anpflanzen, sowie ein wundervoller Gemeindetreffpunkt.
Schauen Sie auch auf dem Informationsplan nach. Manche Orte erlauben die Abgabe von Recyclebaren Textilien oder Essensreste zur Kompostierung. Andere wiederum bieten Kochvorführungen, Verkostungen und ähnliche Veranstaltungen an. Einige verkaufen sogar Produkte die innerhalb NYC auf Stadtfarmen, einem neuen Trend mit vielen Öko-Vorteilen für die Gemeinde, kultiviert wurden.
