Farmers Markets Almost Back to Pre-COVID Conditions

The spring opening of Virginia farmers markets is a welcome return to normalcy for both farmers and consumers. Last spring many farmers had to shift to online ordering, requiring some to create internet sites. Market operators had to develop touchless delivery systems and provide hand-washing stations, increase space between booths, and limit in-person attendance. Most of those restrictions have been lifted or eased under Gov. Ralph Northam’s latest executive order regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. But a few remain in place, including physical distancing of vendors and mandatory face masks for vendors and shoppers. “Compared to this time last year, preorders are down, but all of the farmers that did have or created an online store are continuing to take those (orders),” said Ricky Kowalewski, market manager for the Lynchburg Community Market. “We’re slowly getting back to pre-COVID attendance numbers.”
