Purpose and audience

This project responds to food access challenges, including those experienced in food deserts, by helping NYC residents explore farmers markets and nearby subway or Staten Island Railway stations. It supports people who rely on public transportation in choosing a market to visit by showing market locations, operating hours, seasons, and nearby rail options.

Decisions this tool supports

  • Which farmers market should I visit in my chosen borough?
  • What operating hours and season are listed for that market?
  • Which nearby subway or Staten Island Railway stations could I investigate for my trip?

Features

  • Filter farmers markets by borough.
  • Automatically zoom to the displayed markets.
  • Click markets for locations, hours, and seasons.
  • Click stations for names and daytime routes.
  • Show or hide train stations.
  • Operate the borough dropdown using a keyboard.
  • Browse a market list that updates with the borough filter.

Data sources

Limitations

Farmers markets may operate only on certain days or during specific seasons. Listed hours and seasons may change or become outdated, so users should confirm schedules before visiting.

Station points represent station locations rather than individual entrances. The map does not calculate walking routes or travel times, show live service, or include buses and ferries. Nearby stations do not guarantee a convenient or accessible walking connection. Check transit service before traveling.
