The outdoor market opens May 1, 2021 at 7:00AM.  During the COVID-19 pandemic we will setup vendor booths 6 to 10 feet apart. All shoppers, staff, and vendors are encouraged to wear a mask.  Please stay home if you feel ill.  Maintain 6 ft social distancing at all times.

2. What changes have been made to the outdoor Market?

The goal of the following practices is to minimize shopper time at the market and the spread of COVID-19. Although farmers markets are important community events, these actions will help the market to focus on its role as an essential food resource and protect public safety.

• All patrons are asked to walk or bike and must enter on the north end of Market Street. As shoppers arrive to the market they will enter into the shopping line and will be asked to follow all social distancing rules established by Governor Evers. We encourage people to park in the many public parking lots near the market and walk to get in the shopping line.
• No sampling
• Each vendor will have their own hand washing or hand sanitizer station.
• Increase the spacing between vendors to allow customers to maintain safe distance from each other and other vendors.
• Shoppers, staff, and vendors are encouraged to wear face masks

3. What will be vendor requirements?

• No sick vendors or employees at the market. Vendors should prioritize the health of customers.
• Use single use bags packed by the vendor.
• Clean/sanitize/disinfect surfaces including tables every hour.
• Wash hands regularly with soap and water.
• Use hand sanitizer only when necessary on clean hands. Hand sanitizer is not effective on dirty hands.
