Benicia Certified Farmer’s Market Opens June 4th

 

On First Street between B & D Streets (please enter into the market on either on these streets)

 

The Benicia Certified Farmers Market will open Thursday, June 4th from 4-8pm, providing fresh, healthy food for the community.

Best practices will be implemented to protect customers, farmers, and staff to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, with guidance provided by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), California Department of Food & Agriculture, and California Alliance of Farmers’ Markets.

Note: Per orders of State & County, only Farmers and Prepackaged food vendors can attend the market. No sampling will be allowed. There will be no hot food, arts & crafts, jump houses, face painter or music at this time.

Be sure to…

⚈ Come prepared and limit your visit time. We ask that you come ready, shopping list in hand, so you can get in and get out quickly. Please treat the market as an essential activity, not as a social activity. And send only one family member if you can.

⚈ Wear a face mask/face covering. While not a requirement, it is highly suggested at the market.

⚈ Clean/Sanitize your hands. Please consider washing your hands before entering the market. We will have hand sanitizer at both entrances to the market, at First & B and First & D, and public hand washing at B Street parking lot next to the porta-potty.

⚈ Honor social distancing of six feet while at the market. Give space to those around you, at least 6 feet, while shopping and waiting in line.

⚈ Observe all posted signage and demarcated lines, which signal where customers should wait, six feet apart, while in line.

⚈ High risk groups should send another family/household member or neighbor to shop for them.

⚈ Always stay home if you are sick.

⚈ Visit booths with shorter lines first.

⚈ Always cough or sneeze into your arm or a tissue, away from people and food.

⚈ As always, wash your fruits and veggies when you return home.
