This is the neighbourhood market rather than the destination one: a compact Sunday morning row of stalls at Prospect Park's southwest corner where South Slope and Windsor Terrace do their actual weekly shopping. That makes it quieter and easier than Grand Army Plaza on the same weekend, with the same regional growers and early-September peak produce. If you want to shop rather than to be at a market, this is the better of Brooklyn's two.
What to expect
A modest row of vendor stalls under the trees at Bartel-Pritchard Square, selling regional fruit and vegetables, baked goods and farm products. The crowd is local and unhurried, and the whole market takes fifteen minutes to walk end to end. The park entrance is directly adjacent.
