Greenmarket Tour & Produce Education
June 15, 2019 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
Join us as we tour one of Brooklyn’s favorite farmers’ markets at Fort Greene Park. We’ll wander through the farm stands, sampling and shopping for local, farm-grown produce to fill our shopping totes. Along the way, we’ll discuss:
–What makes something “local”
–What is currently in season and at its peak for flavor
–What are the most important products to buy at the market
–Tips for choosing the best produce
–Why organic is not the most important label at the market
–Nutritional value and health benefits of eating select seasonal fruits and vegetables
Don’t forget to bring your reusable tote!
