Bushwick Farmers' Market Satellite Farm Stand

Bushwick Farmers' Market Satellite Farm Stand is part of EcoStation:NY’s wider farm and market work in Bushwick, shaped by what the organization describes as the projects and partnerships of a progressive young nonprofit. The stand belongs to a network that EcoStation says connects the neighborhood with healthy, local food through five weekly markets during the June-to-mid-November season. At Woodbine Street and Irving Avenue, that mission reads less like branding and more like a neighborhood food access project with a regular street-corner presence in Brooklyn.

Why it matters locally

Bushwick Farmers' Market operates in a neighborhood where EcoStation notes poverty rates as high as 38% and rising preventable, diet-related illness, tying the market directly to food access rather than to occasional shopping. EcoStation frames the market system as a way to improve access to nutritious, locally grown food in Bushwick through multiple weekly locations. That local emphasis also runs through its partnerships, from GrowNYC’s New Farmer Development Project as a source of local and regional family-owned farms to programming connected with the Brooklyn Department of Health’s Stellar Markets demonstrations. SNAP is part of that access strategy as well, with WIC/SNAP welcomed across Bushwick Farmers’ Market materials.

What you'll find there

The strongest through-line here is not a fixed published vendor roster but a market tied to EcoStation’s broader food and education work in Bushwick. Visitor notes point to a compact lineup with farmers, prepared-food sellers, and demonstrations rather than a sprawling stall count.

• -One visitor noted about 3–4 farmers at the market.
• -Another described a salad vendor working the market.
• -A homemade bread vendor was also singled out by a visitor.
• -Local Kato Sake was mentioned by a visitor as a sake vendor on site.
• -Pastries and baked goods, including apple turnover and zucchini bread, were highlighted by another visitor.

Food and teaching show up together in the event lineup, including pickling and canning demos with Chrissy’s Cooking Club and live cooking and nutrition demonstrations tied to the Brooklyn Department of Health’s Stellar Markets program.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, and restrooms are not available, two details that can shape a visit before you leave home. The stand is located at Woodbine Street and Irving Avenue in Bushwick, with Travis Tench listed as market manager and Director of Markets for EcoStation:NY. EcoStation also lists a Bushwick market season that runs June to mid-November, and one archived season notice names November 15 as the end of the 2014 season.

This stand sits inside a larger EcoStation orbit that includes Bushwick Campus Farm, Mayday at 214 Starr Street, and Farm-in-the-Sky workshops, so some public-facing activity around the market extends beyond produce sales alone. Past programming has included Earth Week Celebration events, Soil Health and DIY Hot Sauce workshops, and seasonal events such as ¡CALABAZAFEST! in Maria Hernandez Park.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP EBT is accepted here, and EcoStation’s Bushwick market materials also state that WIC/SNAP is welcome across the broader Bushwick Farmers’ Market program. Payment methods are otherwise marked as clear for visitors, which helps if you are planning a quick neighborhood stop rather than a long market browse.
