The Tompkins Square Park Greenmarket is open today



The Greenmarket is open today along Avenue A at Seventh Street, as these photos by Steven show.

Signs are up reminding people about social distancing... and touching products...



Today also marks the last day for now to drop off food scraps at Tompkins Square Park ...



As EVG regular Daniel noted, New York State considers farmer's markets to be essential businesses that can stay open during the COVID-19 outbreak.

The Union Square Greenmarket is expected to be open tomorrow.

You can monitor any changes to the Greenmarket schedules via the GrowNYC site.

    Livelihoods are on the line. For most of the Greenmarket vendors, the markets are their only source of income. The fruits and vegetables cannot be saved for a later time. And we, the people, still need food.
