Eat REALLY Local

If you need some fresh veggies midweek and don't want to go to the city for the Union Square Greenmarket, but you can't wait for Saturday's McCarren Park Greenmarket, head over to the Automotive High School Farm Stand! The students have been nurturing their garden all year and now the neighborhood can enjoy the harvest--all the money goes to support the garden, the cooking club, and a farm trip for the students. The stand is open Wednesdays from 4–7, in front of the school, on Bedford between North 12th and Lorimer.

Right now they have hydrangea bouquets, garlic scapes, lavender flowers, lots of herbs, and rhubarb. Coming soon: tomatoes, cukes, flowers, onions, potatoes and much much more.
