The Downtown Marquette Farmers Market is tentatively set to open on Saturday, May 23. With current social distancing guidelines and extra safety measures in place, the Farmers Market will look very different than it has in the past. For the time being, the Farmers Market is instituting an online ordering system. Customers will be able to place orders in advance, vendors will come to the Commons early on Saturdays to fill the orders, and those customers will come at a predetermined time to pay and pick up their items.
In order to do this, the farmers Market needs cardboard boxes! If your business has boxes left over from orders that are clean and in good shape, we will take them. There is no need to break the boxes down, either. Boxes can be dropped off in the breezeway of the Marquette Commons, 112 S. Third St., next to the vending machines 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. This will keep the boxes dry and out of the elements.
