Community Green Market Owner:  Jae Hyun (Angie) Park Opened:  2011 Cooperative:  none Location:  2228 White Plains Rd, Allerton, Bronx, NY Photographed:  March 2019 This grocery store opened in 2011 replacing a greengrocer called Green Land. Community Green Market sells natural and organic groceries, produce, and seafood. It's worth noting that this store is just two doors down from the very first store we saw on The Independent Edition, the Food Choice Market . This store is about 3600 square feet.

Our next group of stores in the Bronx is along White Plains Road! We start at the southern part of the neighborhood of Allerton, following White Plains Road (a major through street) through  Williamsbridge , Olinville, and Wakefield, seeing eight stores along that stretch. White Plains Road, by the way, starts at the far south end of  Soundview , extending past the Bronx Botanical Garden, becoming 1st Street when it crosses into  Mount Vernon , then finally petering out and ending just north of the former  Western Beef in Mount Vernon . We're only traveling along a small fraction of the street's length, but we'll be starting tomorrow with a snapshot right here on The Independent Edition!
