A Visit to the Socrates Sculpture Park Greenmarket

The welcome sign to the greenmarket, just outside Socrates.

You can bring your compost to the greenmarket, thanks to Build It Green!NYC

Ballard Honey has all sorts of lovely local honey

Beautiful strawberries and a selection of fresh cheeses made with goat and cow milk from Goodale Farm

Here is the lineup of cheese – fresh mozzarella is at the far end

I tried the goat feta and it was delicious

I was pretty enamored with the breads from Central Bakery, an artisanal bakery in NJ

Savory bread, mmm…

And yet more bread

I ended up buying one of these black Russian breads – delicious!

Beautiful beets and carrots from J. Glebocki Farms; I bought a bunch of wonderful baby carrots

Gorgeous display of greens and potatoes from J. Glebocki Farms

Red Jacket had plenty of strawberries

You could get rhubarb with that, too.

Red Jacket’s juice is delicious, too – my favorite is Joe’s Summer Blend, which is a tangy mix of lemonade and apple juice

El Poblano Farm was there, too! Wonderful greens all around

Here’s the info table – they were polling the greenmarket visitors as to how they heard of the market

At the very end we found the XXX Coffee folks, which made me a tasty iced coffee
