In Season: your last chance for cucumbers

WNYC News | Sep 5, 2025

Summer produce is starting to phase out, but there's still plenty of cucumbers at farmstands across the city. From Kirby to Persian to American Slicing, cucumbers are versatile, cheap and some can, of course, be pickled and preserved. 

Amelia Tarpey is a program and publicity manger for GrowNYC Greenmarkets. She says cucumbers are priced at around $1 each to up to $6 per pound.
