Happy Farmers Market Season! The Bedford-Stuyvesant Farmers Market at Lewis Ave and MacDonough St ( across from Bread Stuy and Brownstone Books) is in its second year. It’s open Saturdays from 8 am – 4 pm until September.
I never went last year, but I’m thinking I’ll try to make it this year (I failed to sign up for the CSA as well–clearly I’m a little conflicted about eating my veggies …) if only to get some fresh peaches.
On-site cooking demonstrations are scheduled for 11:30 am -1:30 pm on July 14, August
