Safety
Community health and wellness have been at the core of our mission since we opened 15 years ago. We take our role in local food access seriously and we also value the guidance shared by city, state and federal authorities, recommending that physical distancing is essential to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Please help us ensure a safe and healthy environment for everyone:
- If you are not well, please stay home.
- Maintain a distance of six feet from other people while picking up your orders.
- We will be limiting numbers of customers on-site this Saturday to be in compliance with CDC’s physical distancing guidelines. Please limit number of shoppers picking up your order to one or two to help us manage this.
- Be sure to schedule your pickup time in advance, here: calendly.com/mcfarmersmkt
- We will have handwashing, disposable gloves and sanitizing products available on-site.
We are monitoring this situation very closely and will communicate any additional changes to our April indoor markets and outdoor season as soon as possible on our website, email newsletter and social media.
Support
MCFM is committed to supporting the economic vitality of our small farms and local food businesses and does not take cancellations lightly. This is the first time in 15 years that we have cancelled a market. However, we believe that the unprecedented circumstances require an unprecedented response to help protect our community and our vendors. In the coming days and weeks, we will be working to develop plans to safely support local food access and determine our capacity to provide local food purchasing options to our community.
If you are interested in supporting our farmers and other vendors further, please consider making a donation to our grant program. Our grant program is designed to help keep local, sustainable farmers on the land, producing nourishing food for all.
Thank you for your understanding and goodwill during this time. We deeply care about you and thank you again for placing your trust in Mill City Farmers Market.
Eat well and wash your hands,
Mill City Farmers Market staff
