Riverdale YM

For Bronx residents looking to eat locally and support New York agriculture, Riverdale YM is a reliable source of fresh, in-season food from farms in the surrounding region.

Operating Thu: 3:00 PM-7:00 PM, Jul 11 - Nov 21, this market follows a regular schedule that shoppers can plan around.

Riverdale YM carries Vegetables and Fruits among its regular vendor offerings. Product variety changes week to week.

Farmers markets like Riverdale YM represent a fundamentally different way of accessing food compared to a supermarket. When you shop at Riverdale YM, the person selling you tomatoes is often the same person who planted them — a level of transparency and traceability that industrial food systems cannot replicate. That direct relationship is what draws many Bronx residents to the market week after week.

The selection at Riverdale YM changes as the growing season progresses. Early in the season, expect cool-weather crops like salad greens, radishes, and herbs. Peak summer brings the widest variety — tomatoes, peppers, corn, stone fruits, and squash. By fall, the market shifts toward storage vegetables, apples, pears, preserves, and baked goods that make use of seasonal harvests. This seasonal rhythm is something you feel at a farmers market in a way you never do in a grocery store.

Riverdale YM draws shoppers from across the Bronx area who value knowing where their food comes from. Unlike the anonymized supply chains that supply most grocery stores, every item at this market was grown or produced by a vendor you can talk to, ask questions of, and build a relationship with over the course of the season.

Riverdale YM plays an important role in the Bronx community by providing residents with a reliable source of fresh, locally produced food and a space for community connection.
