2020 Market Season & COVID-19

The Indiana County Farmers’ Market is closely following Centers for Disease Control and Pennsylvania guidelines regarding the COVID-19 disease. We want you to know that we plan to proceed with opening this year’s markets as scheduled with the market operating June through October.

Our opening days will be:

• Saturday, June 6th, 2020: 9AM - 12PM @ 8th & Church Streets
• Wednesday, June 10th, 2020: 3:30PM - 6PM @ Wayne Ave across from KCAC

Now, possibly more than ever before, it is vital that we connect community members with healthy food and the local food system. Many people in the greater Indiana area already suffer from food insecurity, and now that may be a new reality for additional community members.

We believe that local agriculture is essential to ensuring the wellness of our area’s residents.

The board members and volunteers of Indiana County Farmers’ Market have been discussing the potential effects of COVID-19 on the upcoming market season as well as the measures we should take to keep our customers and farmers safe. Our vendors have long practiced safe handling of food per Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture Food Safety guidelines and will continue to do so. We are also discussing additional measures that vendors and the market can take to keep everyone healthy.

If you are seeking to connect with local food before the Farmers’ Market begins, you may find the list of our vendors on our website to connect directly with them. A number of our vendors have products available right now and are creating safe ways to get food to you.

As this is an ever-evolving situation, we will be sure to update you as we learn more about the status of the Indiana County Farmers’ Market.

Thank you for supporting our local farmers and for being a customer of the Farmers’ Market. We hope that you are staying safe and well.
