From Washington State University Extension, this is Prevent the Spread of COVID-19.
COVID-19 has altered many aspects of our lives including how we shop at farmers markets. Now, many vendors offer opportunities to pre-order, pre-pay, and pick-up items on market day. This saves time and prevents the spread of COVID-19. From a public health and food safety perspective, pre-orders reduce the likelihood of cross contamination of disease-causing bacteria and viruses.
During drive-through market pick-up, customers may notice 6-foot pavement markers between your car and the farmer. Pre-placed orders will be put on a pick-up table for you maintaining social distancing. Or, with your permission, the vendor can place your order in your vehicle.
Check online listings for your local farmers market or look for opportunities to pre-order the next time you visit them.
Stay home, stay safe, and stay healthy.
