GREEN FOR GREEN: The city's only wholesale farmers market, which moved to Hunts Point this year, is getting a $296,000 grant. Michael Hurwitz, head of Greenmarkets for the Council on the Environment, recently spoke about the funding plan in front of farmers and government representatives.
Bronx -
Tucked into the parking lot of the New Fulton Fish Market in Hunts Point is the city’s only wholesale farmers market — and now it’s getting a boost from a $296,000 grant to the Council on the Environment of New York City, which runs farmers markets in all five boroughs.
The council will manage the market, which moved this year from its long-time location near Yankee Stadium, as its latest Greenmarket. All 50 others are retail markets.
