Where To Stock A Union Square Farm Share Before Saturday Closes
Begin with a produce pickup, grab a flexible bite, then sit down for a farm-sourced finish around Union Square.
Market To Table Route
Load Up on Orchard Produce
Start at the Union Square Greenmarket stand while the plaza is still easy to browse. Breezy Hill Orchard brings apples, berries, cider doughnuts, pies, and Knoll Krest Farm pantry staples. Arrive on Wednesday or Saturday, when its 8 AM to 5 PM window is live. Shop the Saturday opening first if you need the widest seasonal haul, then pack perishables before the next stop.
Make the Pickup Meal Easy
Walk east to Daily Provisions - Union Square for a quick bridge from raw produce to something ready to eat. The Union Square Cafe kitchen sends out crullers, breakfast sandwiches, and seasonal lunch and dinner. Indoor seating is very limited, so take your order to go and keep the route moving. It opens at 7 AM daily and closes at 9 PM, giving this middle stop the most flexible timing.
Turn Farm Goods Into Dinner
Finish at Friend of a Farmer on Irving Place, where regional farm ingredients turn into a sit-down meal. The family-run kitchen covers brunch, dinner, and happy hour, with seasonal produce shaping both plates and drinks. Its daily 9 AM to 9:30 PM hours leave room for a late finish. Save dinner for last and let the pickup haul set the theme.
