Central Minnesota’s 2020 Farmers Market Guide

According to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's executive order, farmers markets will be allowed to open amid the COVID-19 pandemic. There are some new expectations at farmers markets this year because of COVID-19.

Vendors will have their own individual line and one person/household can approach a table at a time. You should not be touching the products, vendors will be there to help you with your purchase. Many places will have hand washing stations for you to use it. Kids are not encouraged to attend.
