This weekend at our local markets, say farewell to a longtime farmer, help feed hungry New Yorkers, and learn a thing or two about root vegetables.

The retirement of respected and beloved farmer [Bill Maxwell](/blog/greenmarket/celebrate-farmer-bill-maxwells-retirement-at-grand-army-plaza-greenmarket) is here — stop by the [Maxwell Farm](https://www.facebook.com/maxwellsfarmstand) tent at the **[Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket](http://www.grownyc.org/greenmarket-site/brooklyn/grand-army-greenmarket?ref=bklyner.com)** on Saturday, November 23 to wish him well, and swing by at the end of the day for a little party in his honor.

And while you’re shopping at the Greenmarket, consider participating in the Buy a Bag program by purchasing an extra bag of produce and dropping it off at the City Harvest table from 9am-4pm. Your donation will help feed some of our city’s hungry men, women, and children.

Then on Sunday, November 24 at the [**Park Slope Farmers Market**](http://downtoearthmarkets.com/markets?region=Brooklyn&market=Park+Slope+Farmers+Market&id=&ref=bklyner.com), to celebrate the tastes of autumn, there will be a free root vegetable tasting from 11am-1pm. You haven’t lived until you’ve tried rutabaga, celeriac, or salsify at least once!

*The GAP Greenmarket runs Saturdays from 8am-4pm at Grand Army Plaza. The Park Slope Farmers Market runs Sundays from 10am-4pm along 4th Street at 5th Ave.*
