 The Market is online!

Dear <<First Name>>,

After we decided to cancel the last six weeks of the Winter Farmers Market due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we quickly began searching for a way to ensure continuity for our vendors who rely on the Richmond Farmers Market for their business and customers who depend on the Market for access to fresh, local food. such as produce, meat, eggs, honey, baked goods, jams & jellies, and much more. 

After researching all available options and consulting with other Markets across the state and country, the Richmond Farmers Market Advisory Team has launched a new online farmers market through local food e-commerce provider Local Line. Furthermore, thanks to a grant from the Wayne County Foundation and a partnership with the Wayne County Food Council, 20 vendors will receive 6 months of free membership in the online Farmers Market!

Found online at farmersmarket.richmondindiana.gov, you can order products from any vendor signed up through the platform, and choose from options such as delivery, pickup, no-contact hand-offs, and more. Payment can also be made online, eliminating the need for any unnecessary contact for both customer and vendor. Orders can also be placed over the phone by calling (765) 983-7425 during business hours.

All vendors follow the highest standards for cleanliness and comply with all directives and guidance from the Wayne County Health Department and the Indiana State Department of Health. Additionally, many argue that purchasing from local farmers and chefs is a lower risk for transmission of COVID-19, as products do not change hands multiple times or sit exposed to contamination in high traffic environments. 

As a business classified as “essential retail” under Governor Holcomb’s Stay-At-Home Executive Order (issued on March 23rd), the Market hopes to open as scheduled for the summer season on May 2nd at Jack Elstro Plaza with enhanced cleaning protocols and a slightly modified layout to promote social distancing measures. When we do re-open, all are encouraged to order ahead of time before the Market to lessen unnecessary contact, and ensure product availability. 

During the month of April, the Reid Double Dollars SNAP program will still be available for customers and vendors to utilize. Customers interested in purchasing Richmond Farmers Market SNAP tokens should call (765) 983-7425.
