Inwood Greenmarket

The Inwood Greenmarket is fantastic! It has a broader selection of vendors than most farmer’s markets in the City, has composting available, and is year-​round! Doesn’t get much better than that!

This is where I default for my produce, and I’ve managed to find some very interesting stuff. Since this place is only open onece a week, it takes a bit of planning, but it’s well worth it. The prices are staggeringly low at most of the tents. $ 1.50 for a pound of any apples, $ 2 for a pound of cucumbers, $ 0.50 cents a pop for small seasonal squash, and it’s all fresh and local. My favorite part, honestly, is that the vendors all appear to be very open about their certification statuses. I personally have never asked, but I’ve heard numerous people inquire about whether or not a farm is organic, and they don’t try to hide it if they haven’t been certified. «We use all organic methods, but have yet to be officially certified.» I find that admirable, and indicative of the ethos of this place.
Every now and then they do a special event, too. One week recently was «apple week» and patrons were asked to try different breeds of apples then vote on a favorite. I didn’t stick around for the outcome, but I have a new favorite apple! Few weeks back there was a clam bake. Every week there’s a featured item with taste trials, recipe demonstrations and more. And there’s always a giant rack with recipe ideas you can take home for free.
Some vendors take cards, all take cash. People on EBT can use their benefits here, too. I don’t know how exactly the program works, but I love that it’s a thing.
A word to the meat-​free, though: the peach folks right at the entrance to the market (away from the park) use fish oil on their peaches (maybe other stuff, too, I haven’t read every sign). The produce is tasty, so this sucks for vegetarians and folks with fish allergies.

The Inwood Greenmarket is a year-​round Saturday treat for all of us that live in Inwood. I’m certainly not complaining that I live three blocks away from it!
Besides the usual fresh fruits, vegetables, pastries, meats, eggs, cheeses, and other treats, there is a large composting area on the east end of the market, on Isham and Seaman. Admittedly, it feels good to contribute my dozens of avocado skins to a greater cause instead of just tossing them in the trash. Haaa. They do textile recycling, which I’m thankful for. I certainly end up with lots of clothes, old towels, old sheets, et al, that definitely are not in any condition to donate for typical reuse.
I always leave there with something, even if its just an apple to munch on while taking a Saturday stroll around Inwood Hill Park. It is such a wonderful greenmarket!

I enjoy coming here. They are open every Saturday from 8AM-​3PM, even in the cold winter. In the summer there’s a lot of variety of fruits/​veggies/​herbs/​flowers. In the winter there’s obviously a lot less available — think potatoes, squash, greens and apples, but there’s vendors that sell honey, dairy, different kinds of fish, meats (even a duck vendor), wine, breads. I just wish the walk was shorter so I can come here more often. Great place to shop for local, organic produce.

This is one of the best parts of the neighborhood. Dog and kid friendly and a good variety of vendors. I get fresh veggies and eggs here as often as possible. It’s a great place to take friends who have never been to Inwood and a great part if weekends here especially on nice days.

Freshly baked breads and pastries. Twelve varieties of crisp, ripe apples. Honey. Wine. Local cheeses. Nope, it’s not Chelsea market. It’s Inwood Greenmarket. Granted there are no Cambodian Sandwiches but I’ll take that fresh apple cider doughnut and gingersnap cookie as big as my face without arguing!
Despite Inwood being on the outskirts of Manhattan and lesser known, it has some great things to offer. Every Saturday, even in winter’s dreary chill, the market beckons with fresh produce and local products. You can bring your week’s compost to deposit, munch on a scone from Bread Alone, sneak in a sample of wine (it’s only 11 AM… that’s okay, right?), get your weekly veggies like sunchokes or oyster mushrooms, and then stroll through Inwood Hill Park. Prices are reasonable, vendors are friendly, and the quality always delivers.

Bread Alone!!! SO good! This is the place to get the apple turnover. There is also a small stand from an apple farmer that makes turnovers… those are not good! The turnovers at Bread Alone are the best!!! The pecan danish, apple nut danish, and chocolate croissant are FANTASTIC! Reminds me of pasties in Paris bakeries. They are straight up tasty. A++++++
Washed it down with fresh coffee milk from the dairy stand for $ 2 and was in heaven.

Love this, just cements the reason I moved up here. I work by Union Sq one and you see a lot of the same vendors, so if you live up here and dont want to lug stuff on the subway, great news, come Saturday 8 – 3. The ‘best stuff’ is only in stock til noon-​ish, tons of families make this a priority in the am bc let’s face it, our clean food options uptown are limited. Its expensive. Bring cash.
First truck as you enter Isham from Bway (parked horizontal) has delicious arugula ($ 10/​#) mushrooms ($ 8−10/#), swt potatoes (he has eggs, Im sure stellar too).
Walk up to the Apple guys, great options most $ 1.50/#, cider, omg delish.
Bring your used clothes which are beyond goodwill or anyone wanting them to the GrowNYC recycling at the end of the street, they take shoes too. Also a compost collection there so if you can discipline yourself and save your food scraps for a week please deposit here– it is something I want to try contributing to.
Great staple overall and they are truly there rain or snow or shine as long as road conditions driving downstate allow.

Not usually a farmers market kinda person, but thought it would be a fun thing to do. We found some nice produce and bought some scallops and other goods while shopping at the market. Was it ridiculously expensive? Hell yea. Was it worth it? Probably not. But I was on vacation. Would I shop here regularly? No way!
But it was fun while it lasted. You must buy little wooden coins now to use at the vendors. So you must get the coins before you start shopping. Be prepared to lay down quite a bit of coin.

I’m a total sucker for a farmers market. I was so happy when I moved up to Inwood to find this market was only a couple of blocks away from my apartment.
Now that it’s summer we are living large. There is a ton of variety of vegetables, like asparagus, tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, squash. And yummy berries and stone fruit.
In the winter there are always apples, farm fresh eggs and root vegetables to be found.
You can get fresh fish, turkey, chicken, beef, breads, pies, cakes and pastries too.
I come every Saturday that I’m at home and try to do the bulk of my shopping here and supplement with staples from the supermarket.

Farm fresh fruit and vegetables; so fresh that the soil is still moist and clinging to the just picked root vegetables! there are artisinal cheeses and baked goods, a few exotic vegetables, maple syrup, honey and Lot of apples. However if you’re looking for a large selection of USDA certified organic fair go somewhere else. Even though I know when you get local farmers produce it is less likely to have tons of pesticides I still prefer organic – at least on the dirty dozen – the list of 12 fruits and vegetables that are required/​recommended to be organic. Otherwise, pleasant atmosphere.

I’m not a farmers market guy. As a matter of fact you’ll see that from most of my reviews I tend to be the restaurant type, not the cook at home type. But I have to say I loved this place. In addition to food venders you can get wine, you can recycle textiles, and bring your dog! (I don’t have one but it’s dog friendly)
One block away from the A train, I found everyone at the market very friendly. There are a variety of vendors and it’s open enough to walk around but small enough to not be overwhelmed. My favorites there are The Daily Bread and Ronnybrook Farms. Fresh, free-​range eggs, real bread, milk, and veggie galore are a plenty. However I would recommend arriving early so you can have your pick, as some vendors do run out of specific items. Also because it’s all natural without pesticides etc — they may not look like store bought items but TRUST ME it’s much much healthier and tasty!

Five stars for coolness factor. Three stars for pricing. Maybe I’m spoiled from living in San Francisco and near the ferry building. People say its pricey there but I can’t Believe I paid $ 11 for 4 beef patties frozen and $ 13.50 for four spicy sausages. At the Fb it ran me about $ 8 each. It better taste that good. Love that this is a short ride away from midtown but found it small and pricey. We also got a finger lakes wine for $ 18. Apples are about $ 1.50/lb. cute plants and down to earth people. Very scenic park-​at side of northern Mannahatta!

When I moved to Inwood, I was worried that I would be missing out on things like great green markets. Turns out, I ended up a block away from one of the best green markets in the city!
There are quite a few vendors here, and a pretty good variety of goods. There is produce and apples galore; make sure you shop around, don’t just go to the first one you come by. There are also 2 or three bread vendors, a milk/​yogurt/​ice cream guy, a man selling honey, a fish monger, two meat vendors, and my favorite: The Duck People! You can buy raw or prepared duck and other things like duck sausage and pâté for a reasonable price. Making duck breast is my new favorite meal.
These people are here ALL the time too. Some winter Saturdays have slightly fewer vendors, but still a good selection.
The only reason that I am giving this green market 4 stars is because it does get kind of crowded. The vendors stick around until around 2:00, and if you go later in the day, expect to wait in some fairly long lines for some of the produce stands. If you go at 7:00 or 8:00 am though, you are golden.

They now take credit cards which you trade in for «chips» that hold a monetary value with a small fee of $ 2. I think this is a great way to convert plastic line of credit into cash equivalents to experience fresh produce from local farmers.
Today’s booty included–
$ 2 String Beans
$ 2 Snap peas
$ 2 Fresh carrots with the green stems and all!
$ 2 Fresh herbs
and an absolutely PRICELESS joy because I am feeding my family well, and supporting local farmers.
Even if you have spent years of eating crap, these Green markets are a good way to incorporate LOCAL, fresh, veggies into your diet plan. Other excellent points about the Inwood market is that they take your lightly used clothing and they have a compost station. Parking has gotten worse, so be patient and give yourself lots of time to find a spot.

Nice little market that runs on Saturdays. They had a nice assortment of vendors.
There were several vegetable vendors… one was organic, I believe, two cheese vendors, a fish monger, two meat vendors and some bread and baked offerings also. Prices are on the higher side, but that seems to be the norm at many of the greenmarkets. Great quality though.
It was an easy ride in from NJ for me. It was about 2 miles North of the GWB right up B’Way.

I love this farmers market! Considering that I live in Washington Heights, my few year-​round options are either Morningside Heights or Inwood. The Inwood Farmer’s Market is great! Not too big and overwhelming, but enough diversity for you to get fresh veggies, fruits, nice cheeses, and baked goods… and pretty much everything you need!
I normally end up here after biking and get some delicious breakfast baked goods. It’s also next to the park so you can have a nice walk with your farmers market shopping. This market definitely greatly improved my happiness in Washington Heights!

At only an avenue in length, this market in my opinion, for this area, is the perfect size. It is cute, quaint, and the shopping experience, quick.
I came on the later end and many vendors had already came and went and some were in the process of packing up. I highly suggest getting there with your list on the earlier side.
I didn’t need anything in particular but had my eye out for some jam and cherries. Didn’t see any cherries, no jam either, but there was a booth selling pickled items and chutneys.
Even though this market is small, they have all your basic farmers market fares. Produce, fruits, bread vendors, cheese, meats, maple syrup and honey, and the kicker for me, local wine!
I’m not sure how many Saturdays I will be lucky enough to have off work, but when that happens, I’ll surely walk the few blocks over and treat myself to a stroll down the Inwood farmers market.

I’m really glad that I have this in my neighborhood. It’s small but the selection is quite good. Produce, meat, cheese, wine, dairy. I will definitely try to frequent them more.

Excellent market with very nice and helpful sellers.
Absolutely love it.
