Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket

Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket pairs a long Saturday shopping run with GrowNYC’s broader nonprofit work in food access, farming, education, and green space across New York City. Set at Prospect Park West and Flatbush Avenue, near the northwest entrance to Prospect Park, the market sits within reach of Park Slope, Prospect Heights, Crown Heights, and Prospect Lefferts Gardens. That location, plus a vendor roster that stretches from vegetables and orchard fruit to duck, trout, kimchi, and lavender, gives Brooklyn shoppers an unusually broad farm-focused stop in one plaza.

Why it matters locally

Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket links regional farms directly with Brooklyn neighborhoods including Park Slope, Prospect Heights, Crown Heights, and Prospect Lefferts Gardens. GrowNYC runs the market as part of a nonprofit organization that relies on donations to support work in education, food access, farming, and green space.

The market also operates under GrowNYC’s producer-only standard, meaning farmers and food businesses sell farm-based products they grow or produce themselves. For shoppers, that shapes the market into a direct channel for produce, dairy, meat, fish, baked goods, and pantry items from named regional vendors rather than a resale lineup.

What you'll find there

The mix here runs notably wide for a single Saturday market, with staples like vegetables and fruit sitting alongside fish, turkey, duck, charcuterie, cheeses, mushrooms, flowers, and plants. The vendor list supports full grocery shopping as well as more specific stops for baking, preserving, or specialty proteins.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, and restrooms are not available, two details that can change how long you plan to stay. The market runs at Flatbush and Prospect Park West, at the northwest entrance to Prospect Park, and sits steps from the Brooklyn Public Library, Brooklyn Museum, and Brooklyn Botanic Garden. If you need help using benefits, GrowNYC directs shoppers to the green market information tent for SNAP-related assistance. One visitor also noted that limited-supply eggs can sell through early.
