:: GreenMarket in the Park- Delray Beach

Where: Downtown’s Worthing Park, 150 E Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach, 33444

Time: 8:00 AM - 1:00 PM

Delray GreenMarket in the Park really does have something for everyone. The hometown favorites of fresh produce and delightful baked goods debut at its season opening on October 27, 2007. To broaden the variety of wonderful items, the GreenMarket is going organic. For the first time certified organic fruits, vegetables, breads and sauces will be available at the outdoor marketplace.
Organic foods are grown in harmony with nature produced without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. The US Department of Agriculture established a set of national standards that foods labeled "organic" must meet, whether grown in the United States or imported from other countries. This also includes companies that handle or process organic foods.
Started in 1996 by the Community Redevelopment Agency, the GreenMarket in the Park has become a popular Saturday morning destination for quality products and goods. Entertainment and live music enhance the charm of this open air marketplace as visitors mingle and converse with local vendors. The introduction of certified organic foods gives shoppers more choices when purchasing food products.
The Delray GreenMarket in the Park, located in Downtown's Worthing Park, 150 E Atlantic Avenue, is open every Saturday from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm beginning October 27^th. For more information, call (561) 276-7511.
