West 42nd Street is part of GrowNYC’s Greenmarket network, which brings fresh, locally grown food to New York City neighborhoods. The Greenmarket program uses strict “producer-only” standards, so farmers and producers sell farm-based products they grow, raise, catch, bake, or produce themselves. Shoppers can plan meals around seasonal items highlighted by GrowNYC’s harvest information, including produce such as carrots, asparagus, beets, and other seasonal favorites. The market also supports food access by accepting SNAP EBT and converting nutrition benefits into tokens and market currencies usable at the market.
