New Farmer's Market On Its Way To Crown Heights Community Center

CROWN HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN — A new weekly farmer's market is on its way to Crown Heights.

The "Majors' Farmers Market" will kick off later this month outside the former Bedford Union Armory building, now known as the Major R. Owens Health and Wellness Community Center.

The outdoor market will run between 8 and 11 a.m. every Saturday starting July 30.

It is set to last through November 19, according to the community center.

The market will be the latest addition to the center, which opened late last year.

The opening came four years after a hotly-debated deal between the city and developers BFC Partners to build the recreation center while converting part of the property into housing. The community center also includes 60,000 square feet of facilities, including competitive swimming pool, basketball courts and a multi-purpose areas.

Vendors interested in joining the farmer's market can email the Major Owens center at info@majorowenscenter.com.
