The Capital City Farmers Market in 2020 After a year of navigating guidelines for one-way traffic flow, preorders and limited capacities, Vermont's farmers markets are gearing up for a fairly normal summer. While farmers markets had their own special guidelines in 2020, they're now part of the Group A sector in the Scott administration's Vermont Forward plan for reopening the state, which includes low-contact, short-duration businesses in outdoor and controlled environments. In addition to following the universal guidance for Group A, individual markets may still implement their own safety guidelines. The Burlington Farmers Market will start its season on Saturday, May 8. It's staying in the South End, returning to the lot at 345 Pine Street for its third season, with weekly markets from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
