One of the longest running year-round markets in the program, it has been serving the diverse population of the Upper West Side for over 25 years. Located on a wide cross-town street, this market is very busy at the peak of the season and even in winter when local honey, heritage pork, grass fed beef, exotic mushrooms, and artisanal cheeses are available. Returning in the summer are neighborhood favorites, Jeff Bialas from Bialas Farms and Kernan Farm who will have the first strawberries of the season.

Manager

Chris Wayne is one of four siblings, which is egregiously apparent in the speed and manner that he hoards, prepares, and consumes my food. His mother is a modest, graceful at-home chef who artfully compliments her husband, Chris’s father - a brash, tireless Connecticut-based horticulturalist. After spending fifteen months living in a tin-roof shanty in the mountains of central Costa Rica, Chris has returned relaxed and rejuvenated, ready to cast his newly acquired knowledge and enthusiasm into the great crystal chasm that is Greenmarket.
