The seasonal bounty is unrivaled as Greenmarket's main market, with hundreds of types to pick from at any one time. From freshly harvested fruits and vegetables to heritage meats and award-winning farmstead cheeses, artisan breads, jams, pickles, a profusion of cut flowers and plants, wine, ciders, maple syrup, and much more, there's something for everyone. On a market day, the mood at Union Square, one of New York City's great public areas, is electric: 60,000 market visitors buy and talk with farmers; students of all ages take tours of the market and learn about seasonality; and visitors watch and sample cooking demos by some of New York's best local chefs.
