About Our Market

The South Bronx Farmers Market is located on the south side of 138th Street, between Willis and Alexander Avenues, in Mott Haven, South Bronx, near the 3rd Avenue/138th Street subway station on the 6 train.  In 2016, the Market will be open every Saturday, from June 18 through November 19, from 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. We accept SNAP/EBT, WIC and FMNP and Senior FMNP checks.  We will also participate in NYC's Health Bucks Program - during the Health Bucks season (July - Sept) shoppers that use their EBT at the markets will received a $2 Health Buck for every $5 spent, adding 40% to their spending power. 

Cooking Demonstrations!

Since our inception, we have participated in Stellar Markets - a program provided by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Stellar Markets' aim is to increase fruit and vegetable consumption by teaching participants how and why to prepare healthy meals using fresh, seasonal produce. Participants over 18 years of age receive a$2 Health Bucks coupon for attending the workshop. Workshops are held from 10 am - 3 pm starting July 9.

Also starting July 9, Farmers' Market Kids will offer free hands-on cooking demonstrations every market day from 10 am - 3 pm for children. These free and interactive classes encourage children and their caregivers to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Class topics include where and how fruits and vegetables grown, smart snacking, tasting new foods and the importance of eating a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables. During the class, children and caregivers will receive:

• Samples of featured seasonal recipes
• Giveaways like recipes, family activity sheets and color pages
• One $2 Health Buck coup to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables as the farmers' market
