Wholesale Greenmarket

Wholesale Greenmarket connects Bronx shoppers to GrowNYC’s broader food-access mission, with a market season that runs from May through December at Oak Point Avenue and Barry Street. GrowNYC describes itself as a nonprofit organization that relies on donations to support work in education, food access, farming, and green space, and that mission sits behind this market as much as the weekly selling itself. The market is part of a network built around fresh food from regional producers, giving this South Bronx stop a practical role in how GrowNYC brings farm goods into the city.

Why it matters locally

GrowNYC frames its work around food access, farming, education, and green space, and Wholesale Greenmarket fits squarely inside that city-serving mission. The organization also states that its Greenmarkets operate under strict producer-only standards, meaning farmers and food businesses sell farm-based products they grow or make themselves. That matters in the Bronx because the market is not just a pickup point for groceries; it is one part of a system designed to connect New Yorkers with regional agriculture through direct sales.

Food access is another local piece of the market’s role. GrowNYC lists SNAP EBT among its Greenmarket food-access programs, alongside Greenmarket Bucks, Health Bucks, FreshConnect, FMNP, and eWIC options used across its markets. In practice, that places Wholesale Greenmarket inside a wider Bronx and citywide network built to make farm food more reachable, not only more visible.

What you'll find there

Wholesale Greenmarket is defined more by its selling model than by named vendor promotion: GrowNYC emphasizes producer-only standards and direct farm-based products sold by the people who grow or make them. Expect the mix to center on regional farm food and benefit-friendly shopping rather than a curated roster of highlighted brands.

• -Find farm-based products sold under GrowNYC’s producer-only Greenmarket standards.

• -Access Greenmarket Bucks as part of GrowNYC’s food-access offerings.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed at Wholesale Greenmarket, a rule that may change plans before you leave home. The market operates at Oak Point Ave and Barry Street in the Bronx and runs on three different weekly day-and-time patterns: Wednesday 8:00 am to 2:00 pm, Saturday 8:00 am to 3:00 pm, and Sunday 9:00 am to 4:00 pm during the May-to-December season. Restrooms are not available on site, so longer shopping trips call for a little planning.

If you use nutrition benefits, GrowNYC directs shoppers to the market information tent for help using benefits and answering SNAP-related questions. You will need your EBT card and PIN to use SNAP at the market, and SNAP cannot be exchanged for cash.

Payments & SNAP

Wholesale Greenmarket accepts SNAP EBT, and GrowNYC lists Greenmarket Bucks, Health Bucks, FreshConnect, FMNP, eWIC, and Healthfirst OTC on select plans among the food-access currencies used across its markets. For SNAP purchases, bring your EBT card and PIN; GrowNYC staff at the market information tent can help with benefit use and SNAP questions.
