Lincoln Hospital Greenmarket

Lincoln Hospital Greenmarket pairs fresh food shopping with GrowNYC’s broader nonprofit work in food access, farming, education, and green space across New York City. Set outside Lincoln Hospital at 149 St & Morris in the South Bronx, the market serves hospital employees and neighborhood residents with locally grown and produced food during its June-to-November season. The setting matters: this is a Greenmarket placed directly on a commercial street by a major hospital, where routine errands and produce shopping can happen in the same trip.

Why it matters locally

Lincoln Hospital Greenmarket operates in the South Bronx outside Lincoln Hospital, linking regional farm goods to a neighborhood location people already use for work, care, and daily errands. Throughout the season, it is specifically positioned for hospital employees and residents to shop a diverse selection of locally grown and produced foods every Tuesday and Friday. That local role fits GrowNYC’s stated work in food access, farming, education, and green space, which frames the market as part of a larger citywide effort rather than a stand-alone retail stop. The Greenmarket network also says it maintains producer-only standards, meaning farmers and food businesses sell farm-based products they grow or make themselves.

What you'll find there

The clearest emphasis here is locally grown and produced food sold through the Greenmarket model rather than a long list of nonfarm extras. Lincoln Hospital Greenmarket’s own description highlights variety and local production more than named individual vendors.

• -Shop a diverse selection of locally grown foods at the market.
• -Find locally produced foods offered through GrowNYC’s producer-only Greenmarket standards.

Throughout the season, the market runs every Tuesday and Friday for hospital employees and neighborhood residents, which shapes it as a recurring weekday food stop rather than a special-event market.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, so that is the detail most likely to change a visit plan before you leave home. The market is adjacent to Lincoln Hospital on a commercial street at 149 St & Morris in the South Bronx, which makes it easier to pair a stop here with work shifts, appointments, or nearby errands. Restrooms are not available on site, another practical point to plan around for longer outings. The market season runs from June through November, and its regular pattern is Tuesday and Friday service for employees and residents during the season. Payment options are clearly established through the market’s accepted currencies, which is useful if you shop with benefits or mixed payment methods.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP EBT is accepted at Lincoln Hospital Greenmarket. The market also accepts Farmer's Market Nutrition Program benefits, FreshConnect Coupons, Healthfirst OTC for select plans, Health Bucks, and Greenmarket Bucks. GrowNYC also notes a market information tent where staff help shoppers use benefits and answer SNAP-related questions.
