The LSFM is closely monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak as it continues to develop, and we want to provide you an update of the steps we are taking in response to the virus.
At this time, this Sunday's market will remain open for business, regular hours, 10am-3pm.
We've chosen to remain open to continue to support our vendors--
small business owners who depend on this market and a closure will be detrimental to their livelihood.
In the event the market needs to close in future dates, we recommend attending tomorrow, to support our vendors before a break that could last up to 2 months.
There is
no evidence
that food is a source or transmission route for the virus. To keep our farmers, producers, and shoppers safe, here is how we're prepared:
- Market staff will routinely clean common door handles, EBT service equipment, and wipe down tables where customers eat with the required alcohol content.
- We are increasing sanitation throughout the the market.
- We are eliminating all open-food sampling.
Here's how you can support the market:
- To reduce risk to others, we ask that everyone please wash their hands upon entry. Market staff can direct you to the bathrooms when you arrive.
- Offer to shop for others this Sunday. If you know someone who is unable to attend, make yourself available to
- If you are feeling unwell, please stay home if you have a cough or a fever, and ask if someone is available to shop the market for you.
Thanks for your support,
Rosie
LSFM Manager
