The CHEESE GUY - KOSHER!
Yes, this time, they're really coming! We're so glad!
Here's what the Cheese Guy says: "My trademark is high-end, small batch, primarily handmade, kosher, artisanal cheeses.
I'm excited to present cheese connoisseurs with a mouthwatering variety of cheeses. And since our runs are exclusively Kosher, we've whet the Kosher palate as well - expanding their repertoire of choices and taking Kosher cheeses to entirely new heights. The adventurous spirit will love our exotic combos like jalapeno cheddar jack and marble, local NY State sharp cheddar, and those who crave Blue Cheese should try our distinctive version made by 3rd generation Wisconsin master cheese makers.
While most of my cheeses are produced domestically at family owned dairy farms, I do produce some cheeses abroad in Italy - made in the finest Italian tradition in small dairies that dot the countryside. Make sure to try our Pecorino Romano cheese aged over 18 months - it's the best of the best!"

Farmer Roy Hildebrant was our first farmer, and co-founder of the Crown Heights Farmers Market. See his obit here.
Roy understood, and so does Farmer Rodrick, that folks in the obesity epidemic are not unhealthy because they want to be. It is due to lack of access to resources! He worked with us to right a food injustice in Crown Heights.
FOLKS! YOU HAVE TO USE THE FARMERS MARKET OR LOSE IT! We want to keep our farmers here. So, buy!!!
We hold fun activities every week to draw attention so people hear about us and come buy! If you'd like to honor Roy, donate!

Remembering Roy.... See Roy's Obit here.
Hear WNYC Fred Mogul's story about our market here!
The Daily Record has it right!
"Roy Hildebrant battled cancer like he lived his life, with courage and dignity. He taught many people the true meaning of life, how to be kind, helpful and patient. He was truly respected among his family, friends and community. Everyone that knew him, knew that he was a selfless and genuine man. He gave so much to so many and never asked for anything in return. He will be greatly missed and forever in our hearts."
NYS Senator Eric Adams has it right!
"An unsung hero has passed away and his void will not soon be replaced. Farmer Roy was a unique individual, a man who truly cared about his fellow human beings and gave of himself unconditionally. His legacy will live on through the Crown Heights Farmers Market. Team Adams sends our heartfelt sympathy to his family and loved ones."
Farmer Roy, we would never have had that infamous squash at our debut TASTES of Brooklyn if not for you.
Roy, we loved you for your quick sense of humor, generosity, smart business tips, kindness, compassion, people smarts, being a admirable dad, son, brother, husband and amazing fourth generation farmer with a heart of gold and just a keen awareness of the right thing to do.
All, if you can, please donate to our market! We are still underfunded, struggling to survive. Even $20 will help!
Rest in peace, Roy - November 27, 1963 to August 11, 2012.
On July 26, we planted flowers for Roy
- with donations from Home Depot.
Please tell all friends, clergy, family to come buy from our farmers! Send this to all you know. Let people know it's here.LIKE US ON FACEBOOK HERE!
