Green Market Glory- Verdant Vegetation

Yesterday I took a leisurely stroll to the New Rochelle Library and found a Green market on the Green. Friday was the first day of this organic oasis and it did not disappoint. The vendors were out in full force armed with ice and spray bottles to keep the watercress from wilting and the swiss chard from charing. Alex's Tomato Farm, Acevedo's Farm, Meredith's Bread, Dagele Brother's Produce and Tierra Farms brought a rainbow of healthy locally grown fruits and vegetables at incredibly low prices. 

Get your RDA the healthy way and stop by Community Markets every Friday from 8-3. Do not miss out, because just like the warm weather, it will be gone in November. 

Community Farmers Market- Green is the New Black

On Friday, June 22nd, Community Markets will open the New Rochelle Farmers Market with the promise of an essential word: local. Throughout the season, shoppers can buy directly from farmers and food producers, who are all “local”, meaning they travel “to market and back in a day.”

The New Rochelle Farmers Market will kick off its 4th season with a ribbon cutting by community advocates at 10:30 am on opening day. Throughout the season, shoppers can explore a range of activities, including cooking demonstrations, kids’ events, music, and more. Some weeks will also feature the Community Table, a venue for local businesses and organizations to talk about their work in and around New Rochelle. For weekly market updates, stay tuned to Community Markets’ Facebook page or follow on Twitter @farmersmarket5.

Community Markets welcomes these vendors back to New Rochelle for the 2012 market season: Acevedo’s Farm, Alex’s Tomato Farm, Dagele Brothers Produce, Meredith’s Bread, and Tierra Farm.
