Farmers Market

Isabahlia Farmers Market

A community-garden-sourced farmers market in Brownsville, Brooklyn, operated by the Isabahlia Ladies of Elegance Foundation — a Black-women-led nonprofit running the Powell Street Garden (410 Livonia Ave) and the ISO Student Farm Market (514 Rockaway Ave). Mission: 'Provide freshly grown fruits and veggies, without pesticide sprays and nutrient values intact' to one of NYC's most food-insecure neighborhoods.

What they do

Two seasonal farmers markets in Brownsville, [[brooklyn|Brooklyn]], operated by the Isabahlia Ladies of Elegance Foundation (a Black-women-led community nonprofit):

  • Powell Street Garden — 410 Livonia Avenue
  • ISO Student [[farm-market|Farm Market]] — 514 Rockaway Avenue

Both sites operate Fridays and Saturdays 8am–3pm during the July–October growing season. Produce is grown directly in the Foundation’s community gardens or sourced through local-grower collaborations — “freshly grown fruits and veggies, without pesticide sprays and nutrient values intact.”

Why it’s listed

Brownsville sits in the heart of the food-insecure crescent of central Brooklyn — one of the neighborhoods where the chain-supermarket retreat of the 1980s–90s left behind a sustained fresh-food desert. The Isabahlia Foundation’s community-garden + farmers-market response is the model [[directory|the directory]]‘s [[knowledge-care]] tier exists to surface: BIPOC-led, women-led, locally-grown, intentionally sited where mainstream grocery has not. The student farm-market component also doubles as a youth-agriculture training surface, which is the kind of multi-generational community work that distinguishes substantive food-sovereignty institutions from one-off seasonal markets.
