The Kensington Farmers’ Market
W I L L   M E E T   T H I S   S U N D A Y !

We hope you’ll continue to support the farmers, bakers and makers at our Market. Most of them have no other cash flow, and your patronage makes the difference between staying afloat, or sinking. The crops are planted and growing, the food is prepared and healthy, and we look forward to finding safe and thoughtful ways to continue serve the community.

PLEASE READ THE LARGE POSTER
A T   T H E   M A R K E T   E N T R A N C E
It lists steps we are taking to safeguard your health while you shop with us.

In addition to last week’s guidelines ...
  • We are asking vendors to pre-bag all loose produce and reminding you not to handle any fresh fruit or veggies unless you are buying them.
  • There will be multiple hand washing stations, but please wash with hot water and soap before you join us at the market
  • We are separating each booth by an additional five feet and there will be no middle aisle this Sunday. Please practice "social distancing," especially if there is a line at your favorite booth.
  • Complimentary sanitary nitrile gloves will be available at the Cookbook Table, along with additional information on how to stay healthy.
F O R   T H E   D U R A T I O N our newsletter will publish at noon Saturday so that we can incor- porate the most current news and developments.
Come and get it!
