On opening day, the first 100 customers to visit the market will receive a $2 coupon to spend there. In addition, customers can participate in the Kindness Rocks garden project.

Customers should not attend the market if they feel sick, have symptoms of COVID-19, or have been in contact with someone who has COVID-19. MDHHS and the CDC both strongly recommend that non-vaccinated individuals at crowded outdoor events wear masks.

Customers must maintain 6 feet of physical distance from others and use designated entrances. They may also bring reusable bags, avoid touching products they will not purchase and follow all market signs. All food must be consumed outside the market. Animals are not permitted entrance.

Hand sanitizing stations will be available. Double Up Food Bucks, SNAP/Bridge Cards, and Senior Project FRESH/Market FRESH coupons will be accepted.
