COVID Update

Updated June 27, 2020

The Andersonville Farmers Market is now a hybrid market! We encourage pre ordering from our online marketplace in partnership with WhatsGood but shoppers can also purchase directly from vendors every Wednesday from 3-7pm. Please be aware that entry to the market between 3-3:30PM is reserved for those who are over 60 or at increased risk for Covid-19.

Pre ordering means you’ll get what you want and be able to choose a time slot to pick up, cutting down your wait time to enter the market!  The online market opens every Thursday at noon, with on site order pickup from 3-7PM the following Wednesday. If you’re at risk and/or over 60 you can come to the market between 3-3:30PM to pick up your orders and/or shop (no time slot reservation is needed before 3:30PM for at risk population).

If shopping on site we encourage you to make a shopping list in advance, and to use credit/debit cards or Venmo to pay vendors. This helps everyone move more quickly through the market and gives more market patrons the chance to shop. Vendors will also be accepting Link tokens for on site purchases.

We’re grateful to have the opportunity to relocate to Catalpa Ave. this season from Berwyn Ave. The wider footprint on Catalpa allows us the additional space to safely observe social distancing guidelines to protect our customers, vendors, and staff.
