Poe Park Greenmarket

Poe Park Greenmarket pairs neighborhood food shopping with GrowNYC’s wider nonprofit mission in food access, farming, education, and green space work across the city. Set along the southern edge of Poe Park at Grand Concourse and 192nd Street, the market has connected local farms and farmers with Kingsbridge Heights since 1987. The setting matters here: a longstanding market beside a named Bronx park, with a weekly selection of locally grown and produced food, gives this stretch of the Grand Concourse a dependable seasonal stop for farm goods.

Why it matters locally

Since 1987, Poe Park Greenmarket has linked local farms directly to the Kingsbridge Heights neighborhood, making this market part of a long-running food connection in the Bronx. It sits within GrowNYC’s Greenmarket network, which operates with strict producer-only standards, meaning farmers and food businesses sell farm-based products they grow or produce themselves. That standard shapes the experience at Poe Park Greenmarket as a direct-from-producer market rather than a general street fair.

The market also fits GrowNYC’s broader nonprofit work in food access and agriculture. That matters in practical terms because Poe Park Greenmarket accepts multiple nutrition and incentive programs, including SNAP EBT, Health Bucks, FreshConnect Coupons, Farmer’s Market Nutrition Program benefits, and Greenmarket Bucks.

What you'll find there

Every Tuesday during the season, shoppers can expect a diverse selection of locally grown and produced foods rather than a single specialty focus. The market’s producer-only standard points toward farm-based goods sold by the people who grow or make them.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the clearest visit rule to factor in before heading to Poe Park Greenmarket. The market runs on Tuesdays during its July-to-November season, and it wraps around the southern edge of Poe Park at Grand Concourse and 192nd Street in Kingsbridge Heights. Restrooms are not available on site.

If you plan to use nutrition benefits, head to the green market information tent for help using them and for SNAP-related questions. One visitor noted using debit at the information booth for market tokens and said those tokens do not expire. Another visitor described vendors answering questions about crops and ingredients used in Mexican cooking, which suggests a market where asking how to use an item can be part of the visit.
