Impact of COVID-19 on Massachusetts Farmers Markets’ 2020 Season | Eater Boston

"An indoor weekly market hosted at the Arts at the Armory Building on Highland Avenue that typically brings together about 35 vendors and roughly 1,200 patrons each weekend. The market briefly closed for two weeks in March but extended its season through the end of April to support vendors affected by the shutdown, and has been emailing customers about online ordering options. Organizers are balancing their mission of providing accessible local food and a community gathering place with strict public-health measures recommended by the state — including social distancing, enhanced sanitation, and limiting touch points — and expect extra costs for hand-washing stations, signage, and other safety infrastructure, while trying to preserve neighborly interactions even at a distance." - Terrence Doyle
