So much is in limbo!

Greetings Market Friends,  

I'm writing to you just after 8 PM on Thursday.  We just learned this afternoon that Governor Scott wants all winter markets to cease operations through April 15 as he has deemed them not to be an essential food business.  We have submitted an appeal for a waiver as we believe markets are essential as a critical outlet for nutritious local foods.  We hope to hear on that tomorrow.

In the meantime, FARMERS ARE seen as essential and they DO have the right to conduct business keeping a mind of course to the guidelines for minimizing risk of exposure to COVID19 for themselves and their patrons.  And so since our plan was to again be all outdoors with 5 farm operations, and a few others, you'll likely still find much of that around the edge of the parking lot.  And here is what you need to contact these folks in advance to pre-order for curbside pick-up:

High Goose Farm -  Email  Blackcurrant and other berry preserves, syrups and more
New Leaf CSA - Email  Assorted veggies and greens
Wild Shepherd Farm - Email Assorted meats, spinach and more 
Wingate Farm Greens, spinach and eggs
Maya Zelkin Specialty Foods -  Kraut, kimichi, dilly beans, salsa verde, mole negro, tortillas, chicken mole or black bean tamales
Hidden Bean Bakeshop - GF Whoopie pies, brownies and other baked goodies
Naturally Friendly Soap - 802-275-8944 for assorted handmade soaps

In the interest of keeping everyone safe, please keep these guidelines in mind

  • Stay home if you are sick in any way! 

  • Don't Linger.  - Shop & go, pick up what you need and go home. 

  • PLEASE arrange to arrive with the needed cash or check, or arrange pre-payment. 

  • Farmers may be able to do paper vouchers for EBT transactions. 

  • Maintain that 6 ft zone of distance.  Enjoy the picture below as a reminder that 2 out stretched arms - not touching of course, is your distance guide.

And please in the meantime, do all you can to keep you and yours safe and stay tuned.  We'll be putting up more detailed information on how you can connect with many of our regular vendors to arrange pre-orders and pick-ups over the time ahead.  Check our website or Facebook page for updates. 

Let's come together by staying at least 6 feet apart to beat this thing as fast as we can!
