The final Sanibel Island Farmers Market is set for this weekend as it wraps up for the season.
Beginning in October, the last weekly event will take place on May 30 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Sanibel City Hall. Organized by Local Roots co-owned by islanders Jean Baer and Betsy Ventura the market features a variety of vendors and products, as well as crafters, prepared meals and more.
For the 2020-21 season, new safety guidelines were put in place in light of the pandemic to keep shoppers, vendors and the community safe. Ventura explained that the impact of COVID-19 really hit at the end of the prior season, so during the summer they came up with a plan so they were ready.
