The New York City Greenmarket opened its regular Tuesday morning farmers market at the World Trade Center on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. All farmers at the market escaped injury, but their trucks, tables, canopies, supplies, and produce were destroyed, and their losses are not covered by insurance. The Farmers’ Market Federation of New York, a statewide, nonprofit organization that provides support services for farmers markets within New York State, has established a Fund for WTC Greenmarket Farmers for those farmers who suffered such losses.
