McCarren Park Farmers Market

I absolutely adore this market! We come here every Saturday for our weekly fix of fruits, veggies, berries and lots of other yummy bright things!

It has everything I need! I drop off my compost there, bring our old clothes and shoes, get my cherries, black and red currant!!!, herbs, sometimes milk and chicken hearts/livers :) One of my favorite stands there is the Bakers Bounty. I absolutely love their sugar free fruit muffins and apple pockets. It became our tradition to get coffee from Urban Rustic cafe, muffins from the stand and sit at the table watching dogs in the dog park!

I can go on and on about this tiny cute farmers market but you have to discover and appreciate it yourself. Go!

I love this farmers market. It's the perfect size. They have everything you would want - multiple organic and/or local vegetables and fruit, dairy and meat options, eggs, flowers, herbs, and some bakeries. I go almost every week during peak season for my produce :)

Love it. Best place to get your produce. So many options. Bring your reusable bags because they don't all have a lot of pale tic bags to provide, besides reusable bags are eco friendly and that's most important.

My fav market here is the guy who sells duck. Omg such good Quality duck and variety of options of precooked and uncooked cuts of duck.

Located inside the Macarena park in a nice area. It does get crowded so plan ahead! Yes some things throughout the market you will pay an arm and a leg :P .The produce all looked soo good! There's also local raw honey, milk,
Poultry and bread galore! I really enjoyed my cheese danish from the Country's Bounty.

We are SO happy we found this amazing farmer's market and cannot recommend it MORE.

It's open only once a week on Saturdays, so you really have to commit to going in the morning (yes, in place of brunch you need to go food shopping), but I promise it never disappoints! It's much smaller than Union Square, but this is a no-frills market that has a little bit of everything, from fresh veggies / fruits to cured meats.

In the summer, one of the veggie stands sells frozen apple cranberry juice that is just the best - CAN WE PLEASE BRING THIS BACK ALL YEAR ROUND?!

Pro tip: be careful that you're watching the folks working the registers, sometimes they charge you for an item, but forget to put it in your bag if you have too many items or if the line is bit chaotic.

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone....

But good thing you only have to wait till the next Saturday. I love this farmer's market. It's always bustling with families eating brunch and playing hide and seek. It's that wholesome experience.

Me on the other hand, I love finding my fav stall with the apple cider donuts. Cozy up to a table and watch as the plain donut is devoured. And then the sugar coated one accessorizes my freshly laundered clothes. What can I say. It's worth it. I'm big on supporting local and with a wide variety of vendors you'll be sure to find something you'll like

It's a small farmers market but has a good variety of products.

The parking is actually difficult but not impossible.

I love the organic stall. I come here for their organic golden beets. It's my favorite. Yes there is a difference in taste. The organic stuff is sweeter.

I wish the farmers market was open all weekend, but unfortunately it's not. You have to visit this farmers market on Saturdays before 1:30 pm or you'll miss it. They usually start to pack up about 2pm-ish.

So much to choose from and everything so fresh. The fresh pickles are amazing - my favorite is the full dill. And if striped bass is in season a must get. And give the smoked bluefish a try...it's amazing. The apple cider also very good. Fun vibe.

Great little farmers market with a little bit of everything you need like Bread, fresh seafood, Meat, and yes fresh veggies. I look forward every weekend walking to the market, and taking the pooch to the dog run. my favorite little stand is Treleaven wines they have this awesome apple wine called Apple Mystique a must try. I also like the grass fed meats from Arcadian pastures plus they sell fresh eggs as well. On my cheat days i go straight to barker's bounty and marry it with B&B jams and count the calories away....Ha heaven!

Get the eggs sold at the stand next to Ronnybrook. They will change your life. I spent 31 years of my life not knowing what real eggs taste like and sometimes, it's all I think about all day. Like when they're out of eggs or the eggs are only for members of the CSA and I start to think bad thoughts about how I could just follow them home and shank them and steal the eggs.

...I really like the eggs.
