"A large outdoor Sunday market in Boston's South End that usually hosts up to 80 vendors, from farmers to food trucks, each week from May through October. Classified as an essential operation, the market's leadership is consulting with city officials and reviewing state safety protocols before deciding whether to open in May; their primary concern is the safety of vendors and the public, and openings for other associated open markets will likely be postponed. In the meantime, organizers are promoting vendors' online sales via social channels to help alleviate pressure on grocery stores and support producers if in-person operations are delayed." - Terrence Doyle
