Harvest Home Echo Park Market

Harvest Home Echo Park Market is part of Harvest Home’s nonprofit market network, a mission reflected in the organization’s focus on programs, outreach, and annual market operations. In the Bronx, this location runs on a broad weekday-and-Saturday schedule from 8am to 3pm, giving neighborhood shoppers multiple chances each week to buy from a seasonal open-air market. The market season runs from May 12 through November 25, aligning Echo Park with Harvest Home’s larger annual calendar for New York State farmers and approved vendors. That structure matters here: Harvest Home is not presenting a one-off stand, but a recurring Bronx stop within a larger, organized system that recruits farmers who grow and harvest their own fruits and vegetables for the season.

Why it matters locally

Harvest Home is now accepting applications from New York State farmers who grow and harvest their own fruits and vegetables for the market season, tying Echo Park directly to in-state farm production rather than a generic resale model. The same seasonal call also includes bakers, bread and pastry makers, jam and preserves producers, mushroom vendors, fresh juice vendors, and natural and handmade goods artisans, showing the market’s local role extends beyond produce alone.

That work sits inside a support network built around farmers and markets. Harvest Home identifies the Farmers’ Market Federation of New York as a supporter of market organizers, farmers, vendors, and communities starting markets. It also points to Cornell Cooperative Extension for partnerships that put experience and research knowledge to work in communities. Additional connections to the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets and the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service place the market within a practical food-and-farm infrastructure centered on New York agriculture and market operations.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, and restrooms are not available, two details that can shape how long you plan to stay and who comes with you. The market is listed on Tremont Avenue between Anthony, placing it on a street location rather than inside a building. It operates five days a week—Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday—from 8am to 3pm during the May 12 to November 25 season, so midweek shopping is part of the routine here rather than an exception.

Payment methods are not clearly identified, and no parking, transit, accessibility, or rain-policy details are provided in the market materials included here. Harvest Home does provide a phone number, (212) 828-3361, and email, info@harvesthomefm.org, as contact points for the organization that runs the market. For anyone comparing Bronx options within the same network, Harvest Home also operates markets tied to places such as Claremont Park, Jacobi Hospital, St. Mary’s Park, and Mosholu Parkway North and Jerome Avenue.
