Shopping Safely for All:

Customers who are sick, displaying any symptoms of potential sickness, or have come into contact with anyone who is sick in the past 14 days should stay home.
Wear a mask or face covering at all times. Customers without face coverings will not be permitted in the Market.
Designate one “Market Champion” per household to attend the Market.
Reserve a time slot for shopping, if possible. The first 30 minutes of each Market is designated for high-risk shoppers.
Be prepared to wait. A certain number of customers are permitted in the Market area at one time, and only one customer group can shop at each vendor at a time. Thank you for your patience and for shopping quickly to make space for fellow shoppers.
Leave furry friends at home unless they’re service animals.
Use the provided hand sanitizer upon entrance and exit of the Market area.
Know your space: markers indicating social distancing must be followed.
Touchless shopping only: please ask vendors to select the products you’re purchasing.
Let friendly waves replace normal chatting and catching up with vendors and other community members. Gathering and socializing is prohibited. Seating areas are prohibited except to accommodate for disabilities or health issues.
