St. George Greenmarket

St. George Greenmarket sits within GrowNYC’s nonprofit food-access and farming work, linking a weekly Staten Island stop to a larger mission that includes education, farming, and green space across New York City. On Saturdays at St. Marks and Hyatt Street, the market brings together a compact but varied mix of seafood, produce, bread, meat, eggs, honey, and goat cheese in St. George. The setting is especially distinct: the market is on a hill overlooking New York Harbor and the downtown Manhattan skyline, giving this Staten Island shopping trip a harbor-facing backdrop.

Why it matters locally

GrowNYC describes its markets as part of a nonprofit effort funded by supporters and focused on education, food access, farming, and green space, which gives St. George Greenmarket a public-service role beyond weekly shopping. The organization also maintains strict producer-only standards across its Greenmarket network, meaning farmers and food businesses sell farm-based products they grow or produce themselves.

At St. George, that translates into direct access to regional farm and food businesses selling vegetables, fruit, herbs, flowers, meat, seafood, eggs, baked goods, and specialty produce in one place. The market’s accepted benefit programs, including SNAP EBT and Health Bucks, also tie the market to food-access work rather than cash-only shopping.

What you'll find there

The vendor mix at St. George Greenmarket is broad for a single weekly market, with produce forming the core and protein, bakery items, and specialty ingredients filling in the rest. That makes it possible to shop for staples and a few harder-to-find items without leaving the same corner in St. George.

• -Pick up wild-caught fish and shellfish from American Pride Seafood.
• -Find vegetables from F & G Family Farm.
• -Choose fresh baked breads, quiches, sweet treats, and desserts at Francesca’s Bakery.
• -Shop Jersey Farm Produce for vegetables, fruits, herbs, plants, and field flowers.
• -Look for vegetables, goat cheese, meats, honey, and eggs from Rabbits’ Run Farm.
• -Get vegetables and Mexican specialty produce from Staten Island Family Farm.
• -Bring home grass-fed Piedmontese beef from Stony Mountain Ranch.

GrowNYC also posts programming connected to its wider organization, including a Virtual Citizens Committee for NYC Community Leaders Grant Information Session, a pollinator habitat workshop at PS 216 Arturo Toscanini School, and the In Season: GrowNYC Gala celebrating 50 years of New York’s farm-to-city movement.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed at St. George Greenmarket, a rule worth knowing before you head to St. Marks and Hyatt Street with a pet. The market runs on Saturdays at that St. George corner and is positioned on a hill with views toward New York Harbor and the downtown Manhattan skyline, so the setting is easy to pair with other nearby errands or a harborfront walk. Restrooms are not available on site. If you plan to use nutrition benefits, GrowNYC directs shoppers to the green market information tent for help using benefits and answering SNAP-related questions.
