Open year-round on Thursdays and Sundays, this market located just in front of the Columbia University gates on Broadway at 115th St.,  serves a diverse population including university students, faculty and staff, St Luke’'s Hospital staff, visitors and patients as well as Upper West Side residents. While several of the farmers attend on both Thursday and Sunday, each day has its own distinct character. Thursday’s market thrives on the bustle of the work and school day schedule, while Sundays are more laid back and neighbors come out to do serious shopping.  Shoppers will find milk and yogurt, fruit, cider, baked goods, preserved fruits and vegetables, eggs, cheese, smoked meats, pickled vegetables, maple syrup, honey, fish, and focaccia topped with locally sourced fruit, vegetables, herbs and cheeses, a lunch time favorite.

Manager

A New Jersey native, Caroline Hiteshew discovered her passion for all things food and farming in the cornfields of Ohio while studying Anthropology at Kenyon College.  The more she learned, the more she realized that food touches everything she values in life: community engagement, proper stewardship of the land, and social justice and equality, to list just a few. After spending a season working on a farm in the Appalachian hills of southern Ohio, living off the grid and breaking bread with her Amish neighbors, Caroline was thrilled to find a job in the big city where she’s still privy to stories of runaway cows and mischievous goats. When not at markets, she enjoys cooking, dancing, reading, writing, and discovering new music.
