Fresh veggies, spices, cheeses, beers, soaps - the litany of products available at NYC's farmers markets is impressive! If you're a fellow New Yorker, you've probably gone to at least one market. But I'm also sure you've overlooked or missed at least one because you weren't aware of its location or season of operation. Why not make a map showing all of NYC's farmers market locations? That could be useful.
I made the below map from NY State's Open Data initiative. From the state's website, anyone can download data sets on publicly available information; in this case, the location of every NYC farmers market.
All of the market locations have been color coded to indicate when they're running (Summer, Multiple Seasons, Year-Round), and you can filter the map to highlight only those markets that fit a Season criteria of your choice. Click a market icon, and you'll see the name, operating hours and days, and the website of the farmers market. If you want to view the map in full screen, click the link at the bottom-left of the map.
There's probably a farmers market closer to you than you think; take a look!

If you don't see a market on the map that you definitely know is there (remember, Smorgasburg in Williamsburg, Brooklyn technically doesn't count) let me know and I'll inform the state to update their database!
