Because of our current situation, some of the markets’ hours have changed, and some openings were delayed. For every market that we’ve listed, we’ve indicated if it’s currently open, and, if not, when it will be. If we couldn’t find any current information, we did not include it in the list, but we can add it in as we receive information.

All of the farmers markets that are open have made safety changes. Go to their websites, which are all listed below, and read about the changes they’ve made.

Also, although this information is verified, plans can change. So make sure to follow the link for the farmers market before you go and make sure that there haven’t been changes.
