Rye Farmers Market Set To Open

RYE, NY — The Rye Farmers Market is opening for the season soon and will be offering a way to pre-order from the vendors so you can pickup what you want once the market is open. The Down to Earth Rye Farmers Market is located on Theodore Fremd Avenue behind the Purchase Street stores in Rye.

It will be operating from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Sunday beginning May 24.

Shoppers can use the WhatsGood Marketplace app to pre-order directly from the vendors and pickup up your pre-paid orders on Sunday.

In light of the new coronavirus there are some guidelines to shopping this season:

• Please wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth.
• Leave 6 feet of space between yourself and the person in front of you if you find yourself in a line (that's about two arm lengths).
• Send just one person to the farmers market to shop.
• Take social conversations with friends and neighbors outside the market area (but continue to follow the social distancing rules!).
• Ask for the product you want to purchase and the salesperson will gather it together for you at the register (vegetables too). Do not touch or lean over displays.
• We have asked our vendors to pre-package everything they possibly can. We hate all the plastic too but it minimizes food exposure and maximizes grab-and-go purchasing. We apologize if that means you can't get items in your preferred amount.
• There will be no food sampling or cooking in the market. Please support vendors who you usually buy ready-to-eat food from by purchasing some of their packaged products.
• Keep bikes and dogs outside the market area.
• If you have pre-ordered bring your order summary with you to speed pick up
