Malcolm X Boulevard Community Farmers’ Market
By The Changeling | August 15, 2008
The Malcolm X Boulevard Community Farmers’ Market is a new farmers’ market working to bring fresh, local, organic and healthy foods to the Bed-Stuy community. They sell fruits, veggies, baked goods, and fish. If you have a flexible Friday schedule (or are lucky enough to have Fridays off) then stop by and support this local market. They accept cash, EBT cards, WIC/Senior FMNP checks and health bucks and are open every Friday from 12:00-6:00 pm, rain or shine, until mid-November.
(By the way, the MXB Farmers’ Market MySpace page gets points for including Jamiroquai on their soundtrack!)

Great addition to the neighborhood. Thank you.

Yeah, I really think it is a great addition too. I only wish they could extend those hours a bit so that more people could get to the market. Some people don’t even get home until 7 or 8 at night. Maybe they’ll consider extending the hours in the future.

It’s in front of the Jackie Robinson Park on Malcolm X Blvd between Chauncey and Marion Streets.
