This market is open every Thursday and every Sunday all year round. It serves a diverse population including Columbia University students, faculty and staff, St Luke’s Hospital staff, visitors and patients and upper west side residents. Several of the farmers attend both days but each day has its own distinct character. Thursday’s market thrives on the hustle and bustle on the work and school day schedule with busy times and slower times and many products which can be purchased quickly and carried to school, work or home. On hand are milk, fruits, cider, farm baked treats, preserved fruits and vegetables, eggs, cheese, smoked meats, pickled vegetables, maples syrup, honey, focaccia topped with locally sourced fruit, vegetables, herbs and cheeses. (They are a favorite at lunch time.) From April to November Hodgson’s farm joins the market bringing a big selection of plants and some of the best fruits and vegetables around. Our newest addition is Martins Pretzels, an old time favorite with recession proof prices.
Sundays have a more laid back feel but folks come to do their serious shopping. Samascotts, Stannards, Beth’s Farm Kitchen and Meredith’s Bakery all return for the 2nd day. They are joined by Pura Vida who brings the freshest fish available anywhere, Milk Thistle Farm’s incomparable organic milk, cream and chocolate milk, and Ardith Mae Farm who provides the only local goat cheese north of 14th st! In the winter David Rowley of Monkshood Nursery supplies us with organic greens from his greenhouse and a selection of root vegetables from his cellar. In the summer, Gonzalez Farm takes over the task of providing greens, staple vegetables and some specialty produce.

Will Martin
Although Will Martin has lived in New York for over four years, he still clings to his small town Kentucky roots. In 2009, Will graduated from NYU with a History degree and an Environmental Studies minor. However, it was his experience growing up around farmers and working on the farm, Angelic Organics, that has proved to be most useful at Greenmarket. Will loves working with farmers markets because they're a direct connection between New Yorkers and farmers, giving city-folk a chance to buy their food the old fashioned way. For him, nothing shows the value of local food like biting into a fresh ear of sweet corn.
