Roosevelt Island Farmers Market — Local services in New York

Kindness and good food are always important when I go grocery shopping. Both are here at the Roosevelt Island Farmer's Market! I'm so grateful to the Amish farmer's for their presence here. The tomatoes bring me back to my childhood with tremendous flavor whether using in a salad, adding to fresh mozzarella and of course basil. The basil I bought last week and today added such flavor to my chicken cacciatore. All the produce is fresh! You must try the peanut butter made by Israel's wife (a family collaboration) and who brings all these delicious fruits, vegetables, eggs, yogurts, cheeses, baked goods and other items from the Amish farmer's. The best ever! Add some to their delicious banana bread. Such a treat! Thank you for the Saturday market. ❤️

Their loose leaf salad lasts considerably longer in the fridge than the salad from the local supermarket. We know this because of the Coronavirus lockdown, when the market wasn't there for weeks. Highly...
