The warm weather means the return of outdoor farmers markets, offering a variety of fruits, vegetables, baked goods and other farm-fresh items. Today, a new farmers market, run by Bronx high school students in conjunction with Community Board 8 and GrowNYC, is opening up near the Kingsbridge Armory. It's a new addition to our comprehensive list of Bronx markets, which you can find below. (If we missed any, fill us in with a comment.)
