Why your support matters
Hi Jen & Co – Thank you for the post! We’re excited over here. I really appreciate the props, but I can only take one ounce of the credit. Community Markets, a company that’s managed farmers markets for over twenty years, is behind this. I just put up a lil’ petition … it was the wild winds of local food demand that got the flames going. (haha – work with me on this analogy…)
I look forward to seeing you and all our Greenpoint/East Williamsburg neighbors at McGolrick and Cooper Parks this season. Cheers! – Nicole
I’m just so excited this is happening! It is such a great thing for “this side” and all of Greenpoint!
soooo looking fwd to this!
