Crown Heights’ First Farmers Market Opens
NY1
Crown Heights residents enjoyed their first ever farmers market Thursday as it opened for business in Hamilton Metz Park.
A New Jersey farm is supplying everything from tomatoes to eggplant.
Organizers are hoping to add even more suppliers in the future.
“We’re bringing this locally grown seasonal produce to people where it wasn’t accessible before to anybody,” said Jack Silberstein, market manager.
“We got a good selection. The weather beat us up a little bit, but right now it’s working out good,” said Roy Hildebrant, a farmer.
The market is open every Thursday through November.
Food assistance programs are accepted.

Ummm, I’ve lived here since the mid-seventies, but I don’t know where Hamilton Metz Park is.
Please advise.

This is Lefferts park between Kingston & Albany, held alongside the park itself on the wide concrete area. Thursdays 3-7pm. SNAP and WIC accepted, too.
The corn was fresh, delicious and sweet – and next week they say they’ll have bok choy. We’ll be back!
