The Andersonville Farmers Market Extends Through November

The Andersonville Farmers Market (AFM) is pleased to announce the market will remain open four additional weeks – on a new day and time! The extension will take place Sunday, November 1, 8, 15 & 22, 2020 between 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm at the shared street space on Catalpa Ave. (between Clark St. & Ashland Ave.).

The market extension will be pre orders only, with no onsite sales. Ordering will continue through the WhatsGood app or online, allowing shoppers to purchase from all vendors with just one order and select a designated pick-up window. Pre-ordering begins Mondays at Noon and closes Fridays at 11 pm for Sunday pick up. Curbside pick-up outside the market is not available during the extension – all orders must be picked up from individual vendors.

In order to prioritize health and safety for all customers and vendors during the COVID-19 pandemic, AFM is following city, state and CDC protocols. Safety guidelines require all customers and vendors to wear masks and observe six-foot social distancing, periodic disinfection of vendor booths and a hand sanitizing station at the market booth. All vendors are required to have hand sanitizer and tables for contactless pick up.

Everything sold at the market is grown or produced within a 200-mile radius, offering the community access to fresh, local food. November vendors include Bennison’s Bakery, Downstate Donuts LLC (11/1 & 11/15), First Slice Pie Cafe, Green Fire Farm (11/15 & 11/21), Hardin's Family Farm, Karl’s Craft Soup, Letizia’s Natural Bakery (Sorano, inc) (11/8 & 11/22), Pecking Order, Phoenix Bean, River Valley Ranch, Sausage Konig, Sfera (11/1 & 11/15), Stamper Cheese and Twidley Bits (11/8 & 11/22).
