With spring and warmer weather comes farmers market season in Pennsylvania. Farmers markets, like grocery stores, offer life-sustaining essentials and have been provided guidance for how to continue operations safely and with minimal risk to both customers and employees amid the public health crisis.

Guidance includes:
🚚 Offer delivery or pick up options if possible
🥔 Pre-package bags of fruit, vegetables, and other items to limit shoppers’ handling food and keep customers moving
🕗 Offer designated times for high-risk and elderly individuals
↔️ Separate stands to limit crowds and increase social distance
