Taking very young children to Union Square is a very different experience than a one block "journey" across the street. Dare I mention the prices at the 10th Street market were also better than the surrounding markets? We are bitterly disappointed!<br />EiLeen Dosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00923817069515804528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-88749689709919478052017-05-12T03:19:56.206-04:002017-05-12T03:19:56.206-04:00945.

We are a 501(C)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to simultaneously serve our farmer/producer community and the NYC residents who depend on our markets for fresh food. Closing markets is always a last resort for us and we are actively looking for a new location in the near vicinity that will allow for a more thriving marketplace, to make sure that our farmers stay viable and we can continue serving the community. <br /><br />In the meantime, we found homes to support the farmers that sold at St. Marks and please visit us on Sundays in Tompkins Sq Park, Sundays (starting 5/21) in Stuy Town, and M/W/F/Sat in Union Square- all a close walk from 10th street and 2nd Ave. Greenmarket Staffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-40024680050965075692017-05-11T14:27:16.089-04:002017-05-11T14:27:16.089-04:00Incidentally today is the deadline to register for...Incidentally today is the deadline to register for the Washington Square CSA, pickup at St Mark's Church Tuesday nights.<br /><a href="http://www.washingtonsquarecsa.com/blog/33570" rel="nofollow"><br />http://www.washingtonsquarecsa.com/blog/33570</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-87330719728843952742017-05-11T14:22:50.306-04:002017-05-11T14:22:50.306-04:00StyeTown's starting up its Sunday greenmarket ...StyeTown's starting up its Sunday greenmarket again.

Years ago CBS radio did a spot on the green market at Union Square and found the prices higher than at supermarkets for similar items. Years ago a baker at Tompkins Square was selling muffins at $2 or 2 for $3. Now the muffins are $2.75. Open air GREED.
