In case you have plans to visit the Tompkins Square Park Greenmarket tomorrow (Sunday, Jan. 1)... 

Per Grow NYC: "All Greenmarkets, Farmstands, and Fresh Food Box locations closed. No clothing or food scrap collections."

They'll be back on Jan. 8.

The Tompkins Square Park Greenmarket is CLOSED today

The arrival of Tropical Storm Henri has prompted the citywide cancellation of the Greenmarkets today... including at Tompkins Square Park.

Save our compost

An EVG reader shared this photo from the Tompkins Square Greenmarket today.

As you may have read in recent months, the Parks Department wants to evict three composting sites in the coming months — Big Reuse in Long Island City, the Lower East Side Ecology Center and Red Hook Farms. (For background you can read these articles at Politico ... the Queens Daily Eagle ... MSN ... City Limits... and, most recently, Gothamist.)

And the Lower East Side Ecology Center's compost stand at the Greenmarket is trying to rally support for the sites... you can text COMPOST to 21333 for talking points ... and you can find more info via @Saveourcompostnyc.
