News Greenpoint Residents Petitioning for Farmer's Market
Posted by Henry Stewart on Wed, Jan 25, 2012 at 12:19 PM
The community needs the support of GrowNYC, a private-public entity that runs the city's greenmarkets. Potential hurdles include:
identifying a suitable location within the park or one the sidewalks around it, reaching out to interested farmers, and determining whether the area can attract enough foot traffic to support a market...determining that sidewalks are wide enough to accommodate 10-foot tents for each stall, if there are few other fresh food vendors nearby, and if there is “sufficient community support..."
Neighboring Williamsburg already has two greenmarkets: one on Havemeyer Street, another in McCarren Park.
