New York Botanical Garden Greenmarket

GrowNYC’s nonprofit mission in food access, farming, education, and green space gives this Bronx market a civic frame that goes beyond a routine produce stop. Set inside the New York Botanical Garden at the Mosholu Gate on Kazimiroff Boulevard between Bedford Park and Mosholu Boulevard, it pairs a destination setting with the Greenmarket network’s farm-focused standards. GrowNYC also states that its Greenmarkets maintain strict producer-only rules, so the farmers and food businesses selling here offer farm-based products they grow or make themselves. That combination gives the market a distinctive identity: a GrowNYC market inside NYBG, shaped by both regional farm commerce and a broader city green-space mission.

Why it matters locally

GrowNYC connects this market to a wider nonprofit effort that supports food access, agriculture, education, and green space across New York City. For Bronx shoppers, that matters because the market is part of a system built to move fresh food from regional farms into city neighborhoods under producer-only standards. GrowNYC describes its Greenmarket network as maintaining strict rules that require vendors to sell farm-based products they grow or produce themselves, which keeps the exchange centered on working farms rather than resellers. The organization also ties its food work to long-running green-space programs, noting community gardens and green spaces built since 1985 and broader support for urban environmental projects citywide. At this location, those strands meet at the Botanical Garden’s Mosholu Gate in the Bronx.

What you'll find there

This market is defined more by the Greenmarket model than by a published vendor roster here: producer-only selling, farm-based goods, and a benefit-friendly setup are the clearest signals about what shopping looks like. Because GrowNYC emphasizes direct sales from regional farmers and food businesses, expect the product mix to follow the seasons rather than a fixed supermarket-style inventory.

• -Find farm-based products sold under GrowNYC’s strict producer-only standards, meaning vendors sell what they grow or make themselves.
• -Use nutrition benefits including SNAP EBT at the market’s farm-focused stands.
• -Redeem Farmers' Market Nutrition Program benefits where accepted through GrowNYC Greenmarkets.

GrowNYC’s event calendar also points to the broader programming around the Greenmarket network, including cookbook signings with Hillary Sterling and Greg Braxstrom and education sessions on school gardens and pollinator habitat.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the most useful detail to know before setting out for a market visit inside the New York Botanical Garden’s Mosholu Gate. The market operates at Kazimiroff Boulevard between Bedford Park and Mosholu Boulevard, specifically inside NYBG at the Mosholu Gate, so plan for a destination-style arrival rather than a curbside errand stop. Restrooms are not listed as available here, another detail that can shape how long you stay and whether you combine the market with other Bronx stops. Payment methods are clearly supported, and GrowNYC notes that staff at the green market information tent help shoppers use benefits and answer SNAP-related questions. If you are using SNAP, you will need to bring your EBT card and know your PIN.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP EBT is accepted at this market. GrowNYC also states that shoppers can use the green market information tent for help using benefits and getting SNAP questions answered. Beyond SNAP, GrowNYC materials identify additional accepted market benefits across Greenmarkets, including FMNP, FreshConnect, Health Bucks, eWIC, and select Healthfirst OTC plans.
