Despite the brisk temperatures, it was delightful getting to browse the Brooklyn Borough Hall Greenmarket. This one operates year-round, on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Because I can't leave a farmers market without making one or usually more than one purchase, I ended up departing with local honey, apples, and veggies from New York and New Jersey. The Greenmarket isn't super huge with around 12 vendors, but that makes it doable to swing by each one. Sellers also had dairy products, meats, baked goods, and plants on hand. Easy to get to, the Borough Hall subway stop puts you right there! read more

I'm a bit torn about how to rate this market, because although it's solid during the off-season, it becomes SO MUCH BETTER during the summer. But you know what? It's summer right now. And right now, it's damn good. You might not even be looking to buy anything, just walking by, minding your own business and trying to avoid eye contact with the Jehovah's witnesses. But then there's some girl offering you a peach. A whole peach, no strings attached. And it turns out to be one of the juiciest peaches of all time. So suddenly you're buying four of them. And while you're paying, the other guy over in the corner wants you to taste all the different kinds of heirloom tomatoes he's got. And suddenly you're buying a White Beauty, an Italian Heart and the green one (with an equally ostentatious name I can't recall) so you can make an heirloom tomato salad that resembles the Italian flag. What the fuck? You've never done anything like this in your life; who knows how this guy convinced you it was a good idea, but just go with it. And then you poke around a bit, and you find garlic scapes. And dill. Bok choy. Leeks. Shallots. Five different kinds of kale. Plums. Eggplants. More kinds of cucumbers than you previously thought existed. And that's that. Oh, and I suppose you might as well grab a watermelon too, so you can cut it up for your soccer team at halftime tomorrow. Because giving people things is the only way you know how to make them like you. read more

Spring brings Hope but Fall brings the farmer's markets (or the Greenmarket) are now well stocked with lots of beautiful & fresh harvests. I am so lucky to have an office near the Brooklyn Borough Hall. The stuff is so fresh you just want to just slip it! This Greenmarket is not as big as Union Square Green market in Manhattan but the prices I think are better and the service is friendlier. I think veggies look so much sexier in sunny light then florescent light. Check out the photos, they speak for themselves. read more

I've been kind of insulted by saying how much I love farmer's markets, but I really don't care. As a foodie and a vegetarian it's the best of both worlds for me, and Borough Hall's own is by far the best in NYC. Why you ask? Well, while its mightily crowded on Tuesdays, on Saturdays its so relaxed and never gets as crazy as the Fort Greene one (aka the 'Dog Market' b/c of it's proximity to the park) and definitely not like the Prospect Park one (no elaboration needed). They're friendlier here too. And the veggies, the breads, everything is fresh and organic and tasty. I especially love the apple vendors as before I began eating fresh apples I probably only ate five apples a year, begrudgingly so. Now I'm Curty Appleseed! (wonk, wonk). It does help that I work Saturdays, but even when I didn't I went out of my way to make it to Borough Hall. Other than the apples, my faves are: tomatoes, greens, red lettuce, yams and potatoes (about to make one right now!), turnips, eggplant, spanish peppers, basil and those apple donuts. I wasn't expecting to list so many, but you'll probably do the same after you go. read more

Borough Hall Greenmarket - the best, the freshest, and the prettiest carrots ever - Farmers Market Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Solid produce selection in any season. I especially love coming in the fall for all the apples, cider, and cider doughnuts! Year-round wise, there are also two baked goods stalls and a honey stall. Would love if they add a yogurt/milk vendor too! read more

Now that I'm working at a school in the area, I recently started passing through Borough Hall Greenmarket on the reg. (I just learned about the word reg- now I'm cooler than you). I have to walk through here to get to the 2/3, and I've got to admit, it ain't a bad thing. Though this market isn't huge, it has a nice amount of tents. Some of your options include fresh fruit and vegetables, handmade pretzels & baked goods, juice, honey, flowers and even 1 or 2 hot food carts. There is also something I haven't ever seen at any other green market before. Every time I walk through, I always see a woman sitting on a crate who is making spirals out of carrots. She claims this magical utensil is so delicate that you can even use it on asparagus tips! Who knew! I'm always wondering how to pretty up my asparagus tips! I never actually stop to see what this amazing thing can do, but I always appreciate this woman's energy and enthusiasm for her product. She promises not to force you into buying, but pleads with you to come a little closer so she doesn't have to scream. No one can argue with that! Anyway, though I do wish that this market had organic options, (I haven't seen any so far) I still love strolling around, smelling the fresh produce and smiling at the veggie spiral woman. read more

This green market is a bit smaller than other ones in the neighborhood but just as clutch. Seriously, I was meandering around a bit after my lunch time yoga class and bumped into fresh fruit and produce at reasonable prices sold by cool people. These type of markets are one of the things that make this city great! read more

Now I love farmers market in general but I love the Borough Hall Greenmarket even more because I currently live near it... plus it's in front of the beautiful court house in downtown Brooklyn. The best time to go to a market is obviously during the summer season when the weather is great and there are fresh tomatoes and watermelons everywhere but I love going during the other seasons too. During the fall, there are giant piles of pumpkins and I feel like a giddy child again. I heart pumpkins to death. There are many tents to look through for variety. Year round, you can buy loaves of freshly baked breads and other amazing goodies such as brownies, focaccia, and pies. I love just wandering through the market on a lazy Saturday looking at all the fresh produce, flowers, eggs, baked goods, and potted plants. I do not know why but I am just fascinated with vegatables and fruits; I often go into grocery stores just to roam the produce aisle for no other particular reason than to check out all the interesting shapes and colors. Farmers markets are no exception to this habit. Yes, I'm a little weird but I blame the artist in me. Make sure to bring cash as last time I checked these businesses aren't carrying card swipers. Oh technology. read more

Borough Hall Greenmarket - Pumpkins at the green market! - Farmers Market Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I'm from Seattle where Farmer's markets are easy to find. It was such a lovely surprise to find the Borough Hall Greenmarket! All the produced looked amazing! Their was a lovely array of tomatoes, from "Stripped German" and "Italian Heart". On a different visit I bought a gorgeous bundle of cauliflower, green beans and San Marzano tomatoes. When I got home and roasted the cauliflower with some garlic and tomatoes. It was amazing! It reminds me that the farmers have put love into their products and you can taste it. Check out this market Tuesdays and Thursdays! read more

On a gorgeous Thursday afternoon, this Greenmarket was the perfect place to enjoy a snack and the striking view of Borough Hall against the abundant sunshine. It's a small-ish market, with about eight or so vendors, and most are fruits and vegetables. One bakery stand offers danishes, pastries, muffins, and the like. More variety in type of stand would be nice, but each stand had a different piece of produce that stood out-- one had Jersey nectarines that were perfectly ripe, another heirloom tomatoes in colors I didn't know tomatoes existed (I got a sweet brandywine), yet another bags of golden zucchini blossoms. The bakery stand's crumb bun (1/2 inch cake, 2 inches of crumb) was $2 of bliss. read more

Borough Hall Greenmarket - view of Borough Hall from the Greenmarket - Farmers Market Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is one of the better greenmarkets in the city. While not as vast as Union square the Borough Hall location has really lots to offer and more vendors each time I go. The produce is really fresh and lasts a long time. I love the selection of apples in the fall as well as the fresh meats and baked goods. I would recommend to go towards the morning when there is a better selection of produce. Some of the vendors run out of popular items. read more

Borough Hall Greenmarket - Farmers Market Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Something about white tents gets me every time. Upon exiting the subways to head home, I saw this market straight ahead, did a U-Turn, and ended up here! Much smaller than other markets like in Union Square, Borough Hall still gives you what you want. From veggies to fresh fruit, they have good prices with plenty of selection. There's also a bread vendor with plenty of pies and loaves, some cheese, and even plants so you can get a little bit of everything. It's not a place I would go out of my way to attend, but definitely does it's job well and gives me what I need. All the vendors are really nice and definitely not there to cheat you. So head on over, grab a refreshing apple cider perhaps, relax in the plaza and enjoy Brooklyn Heights. read more

Fragrant, fresh, fabulous food, clean, and helpful. The pastries are so inviting, but I resisted and had curry chicken salad instead. Delish. read more

It's so nice to have this dependable farmer's market in a nice, open space near the Boro Hall stop. From Red Jacket to local farmers, there's enough produce and locally-made items to please most Brooklynites. Make sure to always have cash in hand, and check it out before the morning rush so you get a better selection. read more

Great farmers market! I love coming by and getting my basic produce and picking up whatever is in season.

The most consistent farmers market I have seen around NYC. The vendors while not always the cheeriest - sell great products and sell on even hard weather days. My favorite vendors are the honey guy, and the stand that sells zucchini & pumpkin breads at $2 for $4. The zucchini bread is delish! Also while the fruits and veggies might be pricier then in the supermarket, you'll be supporting a local farm, getting fresh produce and supporting a great new tradition. The herbs, plants and flowers are at decent prices. Some of the vendors accept EBT & Food stamps which I think is thoughtful. It's a great place to visit and escape to during the hectic work day or to stroll and enjoy on a nice Saturday. read more

I'm here every Saturday, and if I don't get here by 10am, the best stuff has been picked over. I'm all for supporting local food and slow food/small business, so I try to spread my dough around here. There are some exceptionally good tomatoes, corn, herbs and orchard fruits to be found, and some fresh baked breads and pastries as well as fish and cured meats, honey, potted plants and flowers. Try the hot peppers in the cup- good variety, only $1 and enough to last you a few weeks! read more

You can usually find what you need at this Farmer's Market if you get there early. Especially when it comes to certain pastries. Saturday seems to be the best in terms of how many different things are available. They usually have great deals with the fruits and veggies. 2 for 5 bags of apples, great for juicing and smoothies. Veggie combos are also usually 2 for 5 or 2 for 6, depending on what you get. The staff here is friendly for the most part. However, if you want to find a better selection, you can visit the Farmer's Market at Union Square in the city. They are around Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Their selection is phenomenal. read more

Eh. It's pretty great. They have no meat for sale, or any kind of dairy vendor. Mostly a ton of produce, and some flowers and plants, herbs, a couple of pastry/bread guys, maybe there's cheese- I can't remember. The Not Just Rugelah guy does this very decent kind of like sausage roll/mini calzone-y thing. Some vegetarian like mozz and fresh eggplant, some with sausage or whatever. Anyway, it's good for lunch and it's around 3 bucks. But my favorite time to go is right before they close. Maybe around 5. They always have these end-of-the-day specials. Concord grapes for 2 bucks. Bags of tomatoes for 3 bucks. Flowers for the GF? Check, four bucks. Delightful. read more

Hands down this is one of the few places in NYC to get fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers, and the best service. The patrons are down to earth, happy go lucky, and very understanding when it comes to bargains. This place is clearly "you get what you pay for" and the top of the highest quality stuff can be found here. This place sees me every thursday morning on my way to work. I love this market. read more

I found myself here yesterday, even though it wasn't on my itinerary. Since I love Green Markets, I of-course had to snoop around a bit before I continued about conducting my business. (Always mail in your jury duty request forms, otherwise you'll have to make a personal appearance like I did) I was a bit surprised by the lack of vendors that were there. This was a very small market with not much variety. Also, I found that their prices were a tad higher than what I see in other Green Markets. I did however, have to have an apple crumb cake, and it was to die for! So that was good. However, when doing my green market shopping I would probably skip this place and go to the one by Grand Army Plaza instead. read more

I know that people complain about this greenmarket - it's too small, there aren't enough vendors, the other markets have much better selections. I come to Borough Hall greenmarket on Tuesdays and Thursdays to get baked goods (right now just for friends as I cannot eat carbs) from Bakers Bounty and I come on Saturdays to get natural turkey or fish or vegetables. I like that there are limited number of vendors as it means they remember me from week to week. Also, I hate getting overwhelmed and I prefer to divide up my greenmarket shopping into specific items. read more

A very nice farmer's market. It's not as big as the one in Union Square, but you can still find everything you need. There are around 6-8 farmers' stands, but several stands are actually pretty big tents with a ton of stuff. My favorites here: --2 major tents selling vegetables (carrots, onions, rhubarb, you name it). Prices are pretty comparable to grocery stores and taste much better. --1 tent selling specialty cheeses --1 stand selling homemade bread and pies --1 stand selling free-range eggs and milk. I think there might be a seafood stand and a meat stand here too, but I don't remember. Incidentally, if you like to garden, this is a great farmer's market. There are generally at least two big tents filled with flowers, herbs, and vegetable plants for your garden (or your pot on a fire escape). I bought a bunch of tomato plants for 2 dollars each, not a bad deal at all. Between the different tents, the variety in plants is really pretty good, and the sellers give very knowledgeable advice. Cash only, of course. read more

Great little Fresh Produce market. Red Jacket Orchards Blueberry Stomp.. Awesome! All Fruit no sugar..Great Taste -- Apples and Blueberries. Good Stuff!! and yes..it has a price..$2.75 for the small bottle (12oz) I'm glad I have a Farmer's Market close to my workplace. read more

Amidst just what it sounds like--the governmental, legal, and business hub of BK--this greenmarket is part of a welcome refuge amidst the benched and paved Columbus 'Park'. Not your best set of offerings but a nice turnout the few times I've passed by. read more

I look forward to Tuesdays and Thursdays for this greenmarket. Even though Perelandra and Trader Joe's are close by, the produce I purchase for juicing is inexpensive and phenomenal. Kale, cucumber, carrots, beets are awesome! I spend less than $20 and I can make a juice everyday by visiting the market only once a week. This beats paying an average of $7 for a juice and not knowing whether the ingredients are organic and fresh. Also, the herbs are excellent and I don't feel so badly in the summer when I don't plant my own garden. The reason I gave this market 4 stars is because there are no seafood vendors there. Even though I would like to see a wine vendor, the market overall is adequate. read more

How can you go wrong at a farmer's market? I am specifically writing about the "Just Rugelach" vendor who brings a van full of baked goodies. I mean, you pretty much can't go wrong with any of their items, except the vegetable and sausage rolls don't taste so good cold and should probably be re-heated in an oven. Anyhow, let me give you the best part: It's incredibly cheap. The muffins are $1 each, scones are $2, and they are actually fresh-tasting, like they were baked that day (or the previous night, as it were, since he gets there at like 5 or 6 in the morning). I cannot recommend enough the bran muffin. This is not any ordinary bran muffin. Sure, they throw some bran in there, but the bland bran brand got thrown out the window and they throw in some flax seed, some carrot, and who knows what else (honey?). It's the best, cheapest muffin Brooklyn as far as I can tell. I also recommend the whole-wheat walnut cranberry muffin, it has the same nutty, whole-grain sweet taste but it different in its own right. As far as the scones, they are as big as two of the muffins, and they are of course much sweeter, and they go great with a cup of coffee or strongly brewed tea. What else? Well, they have this 7 grain bread which is pretty unique. Of course it has 7 grains in it, but it's got this texture which is rich yet airy. It's very fresh and without preservatives, so if you leave it out for a few days it will go moldy. So throw it in the fridge if you're not going to eat it up quick. As far as the bread goes, it makes great sandwich bread, and if you toast it, or grill it like a pannini, it reaches it full potential. The toasted grains really explode with flavor, and my favorite gluttony spread on this bread is raw unfiltered honey and tahini (first the honey, then the tahini, not the other way around). There's lots of other stuff at this vendor, but I haven't been able to tear myself from these few stand-bys. In addition, there's another bakery vendor at this same greenmarket who has lots of other good looking things, but I haven't had the gumshun to leave my first vendor. Anyhow, I usually grab a paper, some muffins and park it over by the Borough Hall steps or the nearby benches. There's a water fountain nearby if I get thristy and this guy with a crackling amp plays guitar. One thing about this guy: he is there all the time, just playing his songs, but after I sit there a while, I get the idea that he's got this playlist in his head, and it's a pretty good one. So you get some entertainment and a good muffin. It's worth a trip on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. read more

The produce from all of the vendors is great. I love to stop here in the morning before work to pick up a bag of winesap apples while they are in season. read more

This is very close to where I live so for that alone, I find it invaluable. I drop compost two days a week, and on Saturday mornings I load up on fruits, vegetables, herb plants, and fresh cut flowers for the week. The variety is great - you can also get eggs, meat, and sometimes wine and cheese. As another review noted, it is much much larger and better in the summer, and the winter is a little sparse, but to their credit the vendors that do come in the winter really go through the entire season. read more

Here are some tips that will help you enjoy the market even more... 1) Check out the WWW.GrowNYC.org website description of the market, which will give you dates/times/basic info as well as letting you know which vendors will be available when you're planning on visiting and what they sell! 2) Remember all of these farmers/vendors are local and are responsible for their product, so they're happy to answer any of your questions on growing/production methods, etc. You can't do that in a grocery store! Also, this means that you're only going to find local, regionally appropriate, in-season produce--don't be upset when there are no tomatoes in March or bananas. 3) Try a new veggie/meat/plant. Experimenting is fun, and the market manager tent will have a friendly and knowledgeable person who will be happy to help you figure out how to use your finds--take advantage of their knowledge and free recipes! 4) Don't have cash? Many Greenmarkets can accept credit/debit/EBT cards--when they swipe your card, you get cool wooden tokens to purchase your food with--find the market manager to use your card! read more

Since it's located near the courthouse, I stopped by June 9th at about 3:30 pm thinking I would get some produce to go home with me. There were only 5 tables at this greenmarket. I saw some apples, strawberries, baked goods and juice. Not even enough to make a meal. Not impressed by the Borough Hall Greenmarket. Does a couple of stands make it a Greenmarket? It was sad. read more

This market is very convenient, but I agree with other posters that the quality and number of vendors isn't great. Maybe it was because of today's hot weather, but the produce and flowers were not fresh. And you would think they would have been covered, but the vendors had their products right under the sun without any shade. I didn't buy much. Disappointed. I prefer the Union Square market. read more

This is my favorite local market for buying herbs and other food plants. The prices are better than Grand Army and the quality is great. Also, it is less crowded. I can't wait to return this season to pick up some tomatoes, basil and cucumbers! read more

a few people have slagged off on this market for being small or having a limited selection. they're welcome to their opinions, but I used to frequent the Union Square and Prospect Park locations. This is better for my money. The person who claimed things were not fresh on 7.30.2011 must be hallucinating, as I was there the same day at 10am and things looked great - unless he came in mid-afternoon, when things have been out since 8am in the hot hot heat. The stand with the heirloom tomatoes has the best ones on offer I've seen in any greenmarket. My mother is an avid gardener upstate. I came back from a visit with a green zebra I had picked from her garden that morning, bought another one in the greenmarket, and did a taste test with just a little salt on each - they both tasted fabulous, and I could not detect a difference. This stand also has great stone fruits. There are two main vegetables stands, and one is better than the other, but the less good one sometimes has what you're looking for (like baby teardrop shaped purple and white eggplants). Not Just Rugulach makes great croissants, macaroons, and focaccias. read more

This market is convenient if you live close but if you're willing to walk 15 more minutes there are much better farmers markets with a much larger selection. read more
