At Johnny Hartman Square in Harlem, teenagers from the Brotherhood Sister Sol run the Green Youth Market, a farm stand that doubles as a food-justice and leadership program for young New Yorkers. You can shop affordable fresh produce while supporting a community institution that's invested in Harlem youth for decades. If you want a market with real neighborhood purpose, this small, mission-driven stand is worth seeking out.

What to expect

A neighborhood farm stand staffed by local young people, offering seasonal fruits and vegetables at accessible prices in a friendly, community-square setting. Expect conversation about where the food comes from and the youth program behind it, plus the easygoing rhythm of a small Harlem public space.
