The Forest Hills Greenmarket turns a stretch of Queens Boulevard into a Sunday source for just-picked regional produce, fresh bread, dairy, flowers and other goods straight from area farms. It's a neighborhood ritual that supports local growers and makes for a wholesome, browse-and-sample morning in central Queens. Bring a tote, talk to the farmers, and stock up on the freshest the season has to offer.
What to expect
Expect farm stands lining the market area on Queens Boulevard, with seasonal fruits and vegetables, baked goods, dairy and flowers. The pace is relaxed and neighborly. Bring reusable bags and cash, and arrive earlier for the best selection.
