It's definitely baked fresh and I love the flakiness when you bite into it. Besides the excellent baked goods, you can get organic fresh fruits and vegetables, seafood, specialty pickles and live music! It's also so nice to have a farmer's market at this area, the views from this park is amazing. It is not the most visible spot, but it's right by the dog run park and where B63 bus ends. Please note this only happens on Sundays.

The Park Slope CSA is the second CSA I have been a member of in Brooklyn and I love it! It's…read moreconvenient to where I live, which helps, but it's also seems to be the most affordable CSA in the neighborhood (~$23 week for a veggie share). This CSA partners with Windflower Farm. They are a small, organic farm in upstate NY and offer veggie, fruit, flower, and egg shares plus lots of yummy add ons from Lewis Waite Farms. The season runs for 22 weeks, from mid-June to early November. You pick up your share on either Tuesday or Thursday evenings at the Garden of Union in Park Slope, which is right of the R train. If you can't make it one week you can rest easy knowing the extras have been donated to a soup kitchen. I've been a member for four seasons and have loved the wide selection of veggies. There's always a solid selection of greens, amazing tomatoes in the late summer, and delicious sweet corn. Our farmer also sends potted herbs in the beginning of the season, which is awesome! We've had a full share in the past, but find that it is a lot of veggies for two people so are trying a half share this year. We've also had fruit and flower shares which have been great too! But my favorite is the egg share. You just can't beat farm fresh eggs! If you live in Park Slope or nearby neighborhoods, I highly recommend joining the Park Slope CSA!

Awesome CSA. I…read moredecided to join a CSA because I wanted to eat better (I may or may not have recently dined on a packet of Ramen and Kimchi leftovers cause they were next to each other on the counter... but hey!) and expand my (very limited) cooking repertoire (see last statement). Plus, I was bored with my current healthy options. Enter Farmer Ted and the Park Slope CSA. I know there are several great CSAs in Brooklyn; I chose Park Slope CSA because of the incredibly convenient pick-up locations right of the R Train on Union Street (by Dinosaur BBQ but don't be tempted), the price (about $23 a week), and the flexibility (you have 3 hours to pick up your order on Tuesday or Thursdays or arrange for a friend/roommate to get it). I couldn't be happier with my decision. Last year I made about 90% of all my meals with food from the CSA and was delighted to fill my bag with varied veggies (broccoli, lettuce, tomatoes, butternut squash, cabbage, carrots...) and a bag of fruit ( apples, peaches, plums). There is a list of the CSA website for you to take a look. Yummmm.... so excited! I'm a bad cook but even I have been able to make new, flavorful, fun dishes with my snazzy produce, and I can't wait to try more. Plus, the CSA has weekly or bi weekly emails that include updates and recipes. Sold.

This is my third year with the Park Slope CSA, but this is actually their 15th season of operation!…read moreI have been very pleased with my vegetable share, fruit share and egg share. In the spring the share is always a little light because not as many crops are in season (usually a lot of greens at first!), but by late summer I can hardly carry everything home. I cook a lot, so my husband and I don't have any problem using our whole share, but the CSA does offer an every-other-week share option as well. Some of my favorite CSA items: Corn (there is so much of it in late summer), tomatoes, eggplants and unusual cooking greens (when in doubt, I just sauté them!). Picking up the share is always fast and easy, and there are two days to choose from (Tuesday and Thursday). The location is only 1/2 block from the Union stop on the R line, so sometimes my husband picks up the share on his way home from work.

Everyone who has ever tried them from me rave about them even if they are dented and not at their prettiest. I like to buy a bunch and freeze them in chunks for winter for peach pies and peach cobbler. I am also quite happy with their vegetables, tomatoes are solid, asparagus is quite tasty and they have the one vegetable that I never thought I'd see- mini Japanese eggplants. They cook really fast and are really flavorful in a saute or a curry, no bitterness! 2012 has not been a great year for farmers but I have not witnessed a change in the produce of Kernan Farms.

I found this extremely tiny gem of a farmers market just last week taking a new walking route to…read morework. I didn't think there were ANY farmers markets in Borough Park. Let alone one of the Greenmarkets. It's on 14th Avenue between 49th and 50th street. They take credit/debit cards and EBT, just like all of the other Greenmarkets. There's only about 4-5 vendors there on any given Thursday. Thursday is the only day they are open. It gets VERY crowded there. Even in the very early morning. Selection is limited since there are so few vendors. You have Acevedo's Farm, John D Madura Farm, Suka-Di Farms and Toigo Orchards. Get there bright and early to get the freshest picks. Acevedo's Farm is where to go. Fresh ears of corn for 50 cents each. Well worth it because they are the largest, plumpest ears of corn I've ever seen! They also had HUGE fresh green beans. The orange mini zucchini were also a delight. All at decent prices too. Toigo Orchards has the best apples. Not much of a selection. Basically just Gala and Granny Smith. So incredibly delicious though. Suka-Di Farms are crazy expensive. None of the orchard fruits they sell are under $3.00 a pound. They also have a vendor selling honey in various forms. Overall, it's not a bad market to hit up if you are in the area. Nothing to go out of your way for but if you're passing by, make a stop!

I don't know how many stumbling drunken nights, I've ventured into your fruit stand to purchase much needed Whole Wheat Bread, Eggs, Organic Peanut Butter, Apricots, Water, and of course Berries! Thank you for being open at all hours of the night (2:00am, 3:00am, 4:00am)! You make grocery shopping for the inebriated saunter a much required activity prior to a trip to dormancy. Alright, this is my go to market for Fresh Fruits, Vegetables, and all essential elements, with the exception of Meats & Seafood. I venture to this store at least 3 times to week to pick up various items like the following... - Romaine Lettuce - Red Onions - Whole Wheat Bread - Jumbo Eggs - Organic Tofu - Organic Peanut Butter - Strawberries, Raspberries, Blueberries, & Blackberries I find that this establishment has the freshest and highest quality products of any of the local fruit and vegetable stands from Flatbush Avenue to McDonald Avenue. All of the greens are temperature controlled to ensure the integrity of the offers. What I enjoy most about this store is that they consistently keep the Organic Peanut Butter in stock (even though I'm the only person that buys it). I'd recommend no other fruit and vegetable stand when near my territory. All others look to sell inferior products. And although a lesser price is offered, nothing can beat quality and freshness.
