Union Square Greenmarket

About Union Square Greenmarket

Open year-round!

The world-famous Union Square Greenmarket began with just a few farmers in 1976, has grown exponentially over the past 33 years: in peak season, 140 farmers, fishermen, and bakers sell their goods each week. As Greenmarket's flagship market, the seasonal bounty is unparalleled, with hundreds of varieties to choose from during any given season. From just-picked fresh fruits and vegetables, to heritage meats and award-winning farmstead cheeses, artisan breads, jams, pickles, a profusion of cut flowers and plants, wine, ciders, maple syrup and much more. Located in one of New York City's great public spaces, the atmosphere at Union Square on a market day is electric: 60,000 market shoppers shop and chat with farmers; students of all ages tour the market and learn about seasonality; visitors watch and taste cooking demonstrations by some of New York's hottest local chefs.
