Boro Park Greenmarket

Boro Park Greenmarket is part of GrowNYC, a nonprofit that funds work in education, food access, farming, and green space across New York City. In Brooklyn, that mission lands on 14th Avenue between 49th and 50th Streets, where the market runs seasonally from July through November and accepts SNAP/EBT. GrowNYC also states that its Greenmarkets operate under strict producer-only standards, meaning shoppers are buying farm-based goods sold by the people who grow or make them. That combination gives this market a clear identity: a neighborhood stop tied to a larger citywide food-access and farm-support network.

Why it matters locally

GrowNYC’s work connects farming, food access, and green space, and Boro Park Greenmarket sits inside that broader civic mission rather than operating as a standalone pop-up. The organization describes itself as a nonprofit powered by supporters and says donations help fund education, food access, farming, and green space work.

That matters in Boro Park because the market combines direct farm sales with benefit access: SNAP/EBT is accepted here, and GrowNYC staffs market information tents to help shoppers use benefits and answer SNAP questions. GrowNYC also emphasizes producer-only rules across its Greenmarket system, so purchases support regional farmers and food businesses selling their own farm-based products. In a neighborhood market with a short July-to-November season, those details shape the role it plays locally: food access on one side, direct support for growers on the other.

What you'll find there

This market’s strongest documented emphasis is how food is sold, not a published vendor roster. GrowNYC says Greenmarkets follow strict producer-only standards, so the mix is centered on farm-based products sold by the farmers and food businesses that grow or make them.

• -Look for farm-based products sold under GrowNYC’s producer-only standards.
• -Expect purchases to support regional farmers and food businesses directly.
• -Use SNAP/EBT for eligible food purchases at the market.

GrowNYC’s wider calendar also includes food and gardening programs, from a Community Leaders Grant information session to a pollinator habitat workshop and the In Season gala.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed at Boro Park Greenmarket, and restrooms are not available, two details that can change a visit before you leave home. The market is set on 14th Avenue at 49th and 50th Streets in Brooklyn and runs only from July through November, so timing matters more here than at a year-round Greenmarket.

To use SNAP, bring your EBT card and know your PIN. GrowNYC also notes that SNAP cannot be exchanged for cash, though EBT Cash may be used to buy food.
