New Amsterdam Market's Next Market Meeting: June 29, 2008

Since the closing of South Street Seaport's Fulton Fish Market at New Market Square, there has been a strong movement to establish the space as a public food market - keeping with the tradition the location as held historically since 1642.

"In its ongoing effort to foster a regional, sustainable food system by establishing a permanent, indoor public market in the City of New York, the New Amsterdam Public Market Association will hold its third market on Sunday, June 29th at the Seaport in Lower Manhattan.

The June market has galvanized interest from over 50 farmers, food producers, purveyors, distributors, bread bakers, caterers, and chefs, as well as photographers, filmmakers, food systems advocates and other pioneers of a regional, sustainable food economy from diverse locales extending to Quebec, the Finger Lakes, and southern Virginia. By gathering these proponents in one setting, New Amsterdam Market will help place New York at the forefront of this emerging and evolving movement."

Participants include Bouchon bakery, Flying Pigs Farm, Marlow and Sons, among others. For a full list of participants, and more information, visit The New Amsterdam Public site.
