So fresh and so green

GrowNYC has been work­ing, with the help of the con­sumer (you!) to make NYC a more sus­tain­able city for the envi­ron­ment, as well as homo sapi­ens! As the NYT’s Opin­ion­a­tor recently reported, sus­tain­abil­ity is about respect for all liv­ing things and sys­tems which includes the 20 mil­lion New York­ers strug­gling to cre­ate a sus­tain­able way of life. That is why GrowNYC’s ini­tia­tives to bring fresh food at an afford­able price to all areas of NYC is truly excit­ing work.

Fresh pro­duce at bode­gas in Cen­tral Harlem and Bed-Stuy is just one of the new ini­tia­tives of GrowNYC.

For fresh pro­duce at whole­sale prices in North­ern Man­hat­tan check out these loca­tions, made pos­si­ble through the orga­ni­zaiton and ini­tia­tive of YUM Fresh Food Group.

Addi­tion­ally, through “Health Bucks” for every $5 of EBT you spend on fresh food and pro­duce you get a $2 voucher for more!

EBT sales now make up 50% of Green­mar­ket income. To join, visit any one of these Green­mar­kets that accept EBT:
