WNYC News | Apr 28, 2025
Today, there are over 45 Greenmarkets throughout New York City, according to GrowNYC, and the man who helped start the largest farmers’ markets in the country passed away last week.
Barry Benepe was the co-founder of GrowNYC’s Greenmarket program, which still supports over 200 local producers today.
Robert Lewis helped organize the city’s first Greenmarket alongside Mr. Benepe. He talked with WNYC's Sean Carlson more about the city's Greenmarkets and Benepe's legacy.
