Fresh produce can be hard to find in parts of upper Manhattan, and the East 125th Street farmstand helps fill that gap with seasonal fruits and vegetables right on one of Harlem's main commercial streets. It's a small, practical piece of the city's food network, supporting local eating and often accepting food-assistance benefits. If you live or work nearby, it's an easy stop for fresh ingredients in East Harlem.

What to expect

Expect a compact outdoor stand with seasonal produce sold by the piece or pound, in a quick in-and-out setup along the sidewalk. Bring a reusable bag, and check signage for which payment and food-assistance options are accepted that day.
