Wright's Farm returns, Tree Juice Maple Syrup is in, and Sharper Harper (Harper Keehn Knife Sharpening) makes his first visit of three scheduled for this month (6/6, 6/13, 6/20).

Masks Are Mandatory & Other Guidelines To Shop
Help the Market remain a safe and efficient place to gather food. Your adherence to these shopping guidelines assists us in keeping the Market open to support residents and vendors alike. Masks are required to be worn while in the Market. Currently, there's a well-spaced queue to enter from 8:30am to approximately 10:30am.

• Remember to bring your reusable bags.
• Wear clean gloves or make use of our handwashing station located near the main entrance.
• Physically distance yourself 6' from other shoppers while in the marketplace.
• To help lessen crowding, please keep your visit to the Market as short as possible.
• Preorder items from vendors to help our vendor lines move quickly (a list of vendors present with pre-order items is provided further down this newsletter).
• If your trip is only to collect preordered items, or you wish to avoid the morning rush, arrive after 11:00am when lines have receded (preordered items will be waiting for you).
• Select just one member of your family as the "designated shopper" to send to the Market.
• If arriving as a couple, bring enough reusable bags so that you can split up shopping duties.
• Please do not use the Market as a social or family outing.
• The marketplace begins the day with only one entrance at the south end, and a queue to admit shoppers. Be prepared to wait on the sidewalk in a queue, spaced 6' from fellow shoppers. The Market begins admitting shoppers at 8:30am.

Absolutely avoid the Market if you are sick. Especially so if you exhibit any symptoms of the COVID-19 virus (temperature of 100° or above, a cough, a sore throat, shortness of breath). The New York State Department of Health has set up a hotline at (888) 364-3065 where Department of Health experts are available to answer questions regarding COVID-19.

The Market cannot guarantee that it will stay open without a gap in service during this health crisis. We post whether the Market will be open on our website's homepage every Wednesday.
