Per Illinois Farmers Market Association guidelines, we are encouraging this season’s events to be “In and Out Markets.” We understand that one of the best things about Farmers Markets is the social aspect, but we respectfully ask our customers to keep visits to the Market efficient. Please do not shop at the Market if you are sick. Vendors, volunteers and customers should wear a mask, per state guidelines.

COVID-19 Safety
The Market looks a little different than previous seasons. Vendor booths will be spread farther apart and we will have markings to encourage one-way traffic and social distancing throughout the Market. Hand sanitizer stations will be available in the Market and at Vendor booths. 

Food will not be prepared on-site and samples are not allowed this season.

More than half of our vendors accept debit or credit cards and we encourage you to use the payment method where possible. In an effort to minimize contact, vendors may or may not provide change for cash transactions. If paying with cash, you are encouraged to have smaller bills and close to exact change available for items. Lastly, if you choose to bring a reusable bag, the customer is responsible for placing items into the bag, not the vendor.

Vendors have a list of requirements to reduce possible contamination of their products. For more information on these specific guidelines, please contact Emily Lubcke.
