All the good produce is gone by 11 am. And they tend to sell out completely fairly early, which just goes to show we need MORE of these farmer's markets in Harlem. Also, don't forget the Greenmarket on Thursdays by Harlem Hospital - I believe because of the construction at the hospital, it has been moved from being right on Lenox Avenue to 135th Street between Lenox and Fifth Ave. Just make sure you get there early, preferably when they open at 9 am.

This is of course will totally depend on our community supporting our locally grown produce. I think we need to get out of your supermarkerts whenever possible and buy this wonderfully fresh, just picked real food and not so much packaged food! A healthier community is a stronger community. We teach our children by example, that should include eating by example. Here's to more fresh produce in Harlem!!

I wish I were able to go to Europe when I was their age! I'll be honest I don't eat organic/healthy per se, but still think it's important to support these kind of things so they can thrive/survive in the community.
