For the past 33 years, Stokes Farm has been providing New Yorkers with home-grown produce at the Union Square Greenmarket. As one of the original 12 farmers in the Greenmarket system, Stokes Farm has acquired quite a following of dedicated customers who come to see us every week. We have come a long way since our first market in Union Square in 1976- from firewood and cut flowers to geraniums, fresh cut herbs and a large, diverse line of Jersey Fresh produce. Today, in addition to the Union Square Greenmarket, you can also find Stokes Farm at two other Greenmarket locations from April through December.

Farmer Ron Binaghi Jr. has participated in a number of events discussing how the Greenmarket program has changed the way he farms. You can follow along with the TV, radio and newspaper coverage below, as Ron describes how Greenmarket kept Stokes Farm running and allowed the farm to change with the times to become a largely consumer-driven business.
