By HarlemGal

The New York City Coalition Against Hunger recently tipped off HarlemCondoLife about a farmers market serving the community of Harlem. We decided to check it out ourselves. What we discovered…their slogan “the farm comes to you” rings true.  You can see for yourself by heading to 110th Street and Manhattan Avenue. They’re right on the Northwest corner! According to Cara, the manager, the market has been open for more than two years and will be open this year until November 22, 2008.
