Clark Park Farmers Market (archived photo).

Those who shopped at Clark Park Farmers’ Market this past Saturday noticed something different about it – all the vendors were positioned in the middle of 43rd Street instead of the sidewalk, while the street was closed to traffic. Just like you, we wondered if it was just for the day or long-term. The Food Trust, the nonprofit that hosts Clark Park and many other farmers markets around the city, says the new location for Clark Park Farmers Market on Saturdays is here to stay:

“After 20 seasons on the sidewalk, we’re moving our vendors into 43rd Street to enhance the shopping experience,” reads a message on The Food Trust’s Facebook page.

So come check it out on Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. 

By the way, Clark Park Thursday Farmers Market has also re-opened for the Summer-Fall season. It is a smaller version of the market and hosts different vendors than the year-round Saturday edition of the market. Clark Park Thursday Farmers Market is open every Thursday through the end of November from 3 – 7 p.m. Click here for more information.
