Showing locations.
Every market is unique and offers farms and producers with different specialities. The items shown here are what’s in season in our region; your market’s offerings may be different!
Strawberries are bright red, heart-shaped berries studded in tiny yellow seeds and topped with a cap of green leaves. They're juicy and fragrant and range from tart to exceptionally sweet and candy-like.
Watermelons are rotund fruits with hard, green rinds with red, yellow, or orange flesh. From personal to crowd-sized, seeded to unseeded, they're sweet, juicy, crispy, and refreshing.
A distinct variety of summer squash, zephyrs have buttery, light yellow skin with a pale green blossom end. They're creamy, sweet, and nutty- as delicious as they are beautiful!
The queen of stone fruit, peaches have a fuzzy, orange exterior with juicy, sweet flesh and a telltale pit at their center. Yellow and white varieties abound in the summer. Both are fragrant, sweet, and juicy.
Potatoes of are starchy, tuberous vegetables that can be found in many colors, shapes, and sizes. There are three main varieties: waxy (low starch, firm, and sweet), starchy (low moisture, smooth, and mild), and all-purpose (moderate starch, thin skin, and versatile).
Shuck the green corn husks back to reveal rows of plump kernels that can range from golden yellow, bright white, to the bicolor combo of them both. Sweet corn is just that: sweet sweet sweet!
Curly kale is perhaps the most common kale variety. A member of the brassica family, it's a hearty green with deeply ruffled leaves and peppery, somewhat bitter flavor that sweetens in the colder months.
Graffitti eggplants, one of many eggplant varieties at the Greenmarket, have a glossy sheen with striking streaks of purple and white. The flesh is creamy and succulent when cooked and tends to be less bitter than other eggplant varieties.
Chicken, duck, quail, turkey, and even ostrich eggs can be found at the Greenmarket. Chicken, of course, are the most common. Did you know? The color of the egg is determined by the breed of chicken! Find brown, white, and even shades of blues and green eggs
Crunchy, colorful, and sweet, carrots are a root vegetable that can be found at Greenmarket year-round. In the warmer months, find them freshly harvested by the bunch along with their greens. In colder times, they're kept in cold storage and sold by the pound.
Cherries are the smallest of the stone fruit. Their glossy skin ranges from a deep, dark red to bright crimson and sometimes even yellow. Their flavors range widely as well from sweet to tart and everywhere in between.
You'll smell basil before you see it! The luscious green bunches fill the air with their distinct herbacious, anise, clove-like scent. There are several varieties, each with their own unique flavor profile.
Beefsteaks are the classic "slicing" tomato. Bright red, plump, and round, these tomatoes are juicy, meaty (some might say beefy!), and boast big tomato flavor.
Beets are edible roots with dusty purple skin and vibrant, crimson flesh that will dye everything, from fingers to cutting boards, red. Their flavor is earthy, mineraly, and sweet (especially when roasted).
It's in the name: these berries are blue as can be! There are many varieties, some electrifyingly tart, some dizzingly sweet, and others more mellow and subdued.
