HARLEM, Manhattan (PIX11) — Forgot to pack something for that perfect picnic in Central Park? Well, New Yorkers can now pick up some last-minute fresh fruits and veggies at a new farm stand in the famous greenspace.

The stand is now open on the north side of Central Park near 110th Street and Malcolm X Boulevard in Harlem and will run every Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. through November, organizers said.

The fresh fruits and veggies are sourced from several small Hudson Valley farms and will include apples, gem lettuce, kale, carrots, eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini, and more, according to organizers.

Shoppers can use SNAP, EBT, FMNP, and WIC benefits at the stand.
