Down to Earth Markets

Farmers markets bring local farmers and area food and crafts makers together with shoppers. Vendors offer goods made with locally sourced ingredients, and the marketplaces connect shoppers directly to the local food system. Down to Earth Markets manages markets across Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Westchester, with locations including Cunningham Park in Fresh Meadows. That Queens market operates on Sundays in the parking lot off Union Turnpike near the tennis courts. Other locations include year-round and seasonal markets. The organization also provides information for people interested in applying to participate as vendors.
