COVID-19 and the Pelham Farmers Market

The Pelham Farmers Market Executive has worked closely with the Town of Pelham and

Public Health to develop a plan to safely re-open the Pelham Farmers Market. The information below outlines the COVID-19 requirements and safety actions for customers include:

Admittance of a total of 11 patrons at any given time, one per vendor
At any time, entrance to the Farmers Market will be paused if congestion occurs.
Requiring of customers to sanitize their hands before entry
All customers and vendors must wear a face covering
No handling or sampling of food will be permitted
Maintaining a safe physical separation of two metres from other shoppers, including in the entry line
Distancing and traffic-flow lines will be clearly marked out at the market

Vendors will also face a host of new restrictions and protocols to help limit the spread of COVID-19, including:

Mandatory use of face coverings
Preferred use of electronic payments, cash payments will require a second individual whose sole duty will be handling of cash. Note that not all vendors are able to do electronic transactions. ATM's are closely located within a short walking distance on Pelham St.
Maintaining a two-metre separation with patrons and fellow vendors who do not reside in their household
Prepackaging of products when possible
Hand washing / sanitization after every transaction
Frequent sanitization of surfaces
Self-assessment for COVID-19 exposure and symptoms

Market patrons will be directed on a set path through the market to ensure physical distancing can be maintained. Niagara Region Public Health requires one way traffic flow of the Market and one entrance / exit. The Market unfortunately will not be a place of social engagement. Vendors and patrons must limit conversations to a polite minimum.
