Healthy, local food is important. The Farmers Markets will open next week at Davis Square (www.massfarmersmarkets.org/davis) on Wednesday, May 20 and at Union Square (www.unionsquaremain.org/2020-season) on Saturday, May 23. But this year they will be different. Both markets will encourage only one person per household to do the shopping, incorporate social distancing guidelines and allow a limited amount of shoppers in the space. Please sign up for a shopping spot in advance at the market websites.

SNAP and HIP benefits are accessible for shoppers in both markets. No gathering or socializing is allowed in the markets. See you there and remember that we are in this together … from a responsible 6 ft. distance, of course.
