Mission

Queens is the most diverse county in the United States with half of the population foreign-born, according to the 2010 Census.

Our mission is to connect Queens communities with local food businesses by providing a marketplace for producers to sell their goods and expand their distribution into Queens.

We support a diverse group of entrepreneurs & small businesses by providing low-cost and affordable means to introduce, test and market their food products while building a loyal and local customer base.

Our first event was held on April 14, 2012 and we plan on hosting monthly pop-up markets in neighborhoods throughout Queens.
