The Greenmarket opened yesterday alongside St. Jerome’s Church on Newkirk Avenue.

Lawmakers, employees and customers all agree it will be a boost to the community.

"This is a youth farmer’s market and the idea here is to bring good
food, economic literacy and also a sense of empowerment that people can
take control of their own lives and their own health,” said State
Senate member Kevin Parker.

"Instead of having to go give your money to all these companies who
are giving all these fast foods and all these fatty foods that are
killing you quickly, it’s time for you to take the stand and do what
you have to do and take a stand for yourself and start to eat right,”
said farmer’s market staff member Tamika Daniel.

Along with fresh locally grown produce, the stand will feature healthy cooking demonstrations and workshops on nutrition.
