Down to Earth Park Slope Farmers Market

Down to Earth Park Slope Farmers Market runs under the Down to Earth banner in Brooklyn, with a Sunday setup at Washington Park and The Old Stone House on 4th Street off 5th Avenue. That placement gives the market a setting tied to one of Park Slope’s named public spaces rather than a generic street row. The market is listed at 289 4th Street and operates year-round, which makes it one of the borough stops in a wider Down to Earth network with regular weekly scheduling. For shoppers planning a Sunday routine, the address, park setting, and consistent weekly hours are the details that shape the visit most.

Why it matters locally

The Old Stone House serves as the site host for the Park Slope market, tying the market directly to a named neighborhood institution rather than a standalone lot or temporary curbside location. The market is also positioned at Washington Park on 4th Street off 5th Avenue, placing farm shopping inside an established Park Slope public-space setting. That combination of site host and park location gives the market a distinctly neighborhood-scale footprint grounded in Park Slope itself.

The Down to Earth organization also states that vendors’ primary products must be goods they have raised or made themselves, with any resale items limited, pre-approved, and subject to removal if a direct-sale producer joins the market. For shoppers, that policy matters because it centers direct-sale producers and keeps the market’s product mix tied to the people bringing those goods to Brooklyn each week.

Know before you go

There are no restrooms listed for this market, which is the detail most likely to affect how long you plan to stay. Dogs are welcome, so visitors walking over with a pet do not need to leave them at home for this stop. The market’s fixed Sunday schedule runs from 9:00am to 2:00pm at 289 4th Street, on 4th Street off 5th Avenue at Washington Park.

The setting is tied to The Old Stone House as site host, which helps distinguish this market from Down to Earth locations staged in parking lots or transit-adjacent lots elsewhere in the region. Down to Earth also provides a route for non-vendor participation through a market activity inquiry form for information tables, fundraisers, and other non-commercial activity, showing that activity beyond selling is handled through an organized process. Payment methods are clearly indicated for visitors, which reduces guesswork at the point of purchase.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at Down to Earth Park Slope Farmers Market, an important detail for shoppers planning to use nutrition benefits on market day. Payment methods are also clearly indicated at the market, so visitors arrive with better expectations about how transactions are handled across vendors.
