Marble Hill Youthmarket, Friday, August 12, 2011 |
Allen and I went to the Marble Hill Youthmarket Friday, August 12 to buy fruits and vegetables that come from local farmers upstate. I am very pleased to see the GrowNYC's Youthmarket program implemented in the Bronx.

GrowNYC's Youthmarket offer a large variety of vegetables and fruits in Kingsbridge Heights, Marble Hill, and Riverdale. Having access to farm fresh food is great for our borough. Bronx youth participating in this program are gaining valuable experience and more importantly, are learning about healthy foods that taste great and are good for you.

When you visit one of these locations be sure to pick up some of the flyers with recipes such as the beets one I took. There are instructions on cleaning and preparing beets and three recipes. I urge all Bronxites to come out and support buying farm fresh produce.
