Because of the coronavirus outbreak
many plans and events have been canceled. There is so much that we are unable
to do in an effort to stop the spread of the virus. But summer is still here, kids still need
entertaining and adults still need a break. Here, we take a look at some of the
options for those living in Brooklyn during the pandemic this summer.
How about taking a stroll to a Farmers
Market? This way you will get the
kids out of the house, be able to purchase some wonderful fresh produce and
support the local economy which will be particularly welcome during this tough
time. Many local Farmers Markets are following the government guidelines with
their opening, offering hand sanitizers on entrance, encouraging customers to
social distance and wear a mask. Check out: Kensington Farmstand, Prospect
Park’s Greenmarket and the Hattie Cathan Community Market.
Talking of fresh produce, why not take
this to the next level and take the family fruit picking? Church Fruit Farm has a great reputation for
a wonderful variety of not just the traditional fruits found at fruit picking
places but also ones less readily available, like yams…and lots of them!
In addition there are many organic
options and Kombucha on tap!
And if you really want to keep up the outdoor,
produce and nature theme, take a visit to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
The 52 acre space re-opened just a week and a half ago and is ready for your
enjoyment!
Yes it’s a hard time. Yes things are unprecedented. And yes it’s
summer and the kids are home and everyone wants to go out and do something. But there really are many ways around it all
as we have described above.
