Outdoor farmersâ markets return with last yearâs safety procedures still in place
Dane County Farmers Market (radishes)
The farmersâ market season got off to a precarious start last year. While the markets clearly benefited in COVID-19 times from being held outdoors, in the early days of the pandemic all congregating was discouraged. Exactly how to reconfigure the markets was a challenge.
Many adopted a one-way path, with only one entrance and one exit. The whole market scene was revised from more of a community celebration with music, kidsâ games, political tabling and food carts, to a much more businesslike model. Just the legumes, maâam.
