COURTNEY McCLURE, for The Standard

UXBRIDGE: The Uxbridge Farmers Market is back for another spring and summer season. They opened on May 2nd, and the marketers must follow COVID-19 restrictive guidelines. The guidelines are listed on their website.

This year, there will be a reduced number of vendors allowed at the market. According to their website, the customer limit has been reduced as well. One person may enter at a time.

All customers are asked to travel through the market in a clockwise fashion, one-way. only. There will be a designated entrance and exit, which clients are expected to use. There is a walking lane for people to follow, and signage will be posted to direct foot traffic. Vendors and customers must always be wearing face masks, and there will also be a hand sanitizing station. They are expected to always keep a 2-metre distance (6 feet) from one another during their time at the market.

However, community booths, music and sitting areas are not available this year.

Customers are asked: not to touch anything at the vendor tables until purchasing; approach vendors only when there isn’t another customer at the booth; and while waiting in line, please keep 6 feet behind the person waiting in front of you.

The market is asking customers to please follow these COVID-19 restrictive guidelines.

On the brighter side, they are asking clients to please plan for their trip to the farmers’ market.
