Voice Your Support for the New Public Market in Lower Manhattan!

Stonehouse is excited about the movement for a public market in the old Fulton Street Fish Market Space. This area of the island has been designated as a public market zone since the 1600's, and now that the fish market has bolted to the Bronx, the good folks behind the non profit New Amsterdam Public intend to keep this area for it's traditional use. On December 16th, New Amsterdam Public presented the Wintermarket, a preview of sorts for what they envision for the city owned property by the piers. The one off bazaar featured an array of goods strictly produced within the surrounding environs of New York City. Hot sauces from Marlow & Sons in Williamsburg, Porchetta sandwiches from Mario Batali, winter vegetables from Satur Farms, Oysters, Gingko Nuts (and the instructions how to process these stinkers) and farmstead cheese and butter curated by Saxelby Cheesemongers were some of the many purveyors from our local food shed that were present. Lower Manhattan could use a market like this every day. Please join Stonehouse California Olive Oil in supporting the opening of this market by contacting the mayor of New York.
