Farmers Markets In Arlington To Reopen For Order Pickup

Arlington Farmer's markets that had briefly closed due to coronavirus outbreak will now be allowed to re-open this weekend, but only for pre-ordered goods. These new guidelines are meant to keep local farmers' markets in compliance with guidance from the state government. Alexandria also enacted the same policy for their markets. “To limit the exposure to COVID-19, vendors are not permitted to display food or on-site shopping,” Arlington County said in a press release. “This guidance enables markets to remain open giving Arlingtonians access to fresh, locally-grown food while promoting social distancing.” There are three farmers' markets currently in season and expected to reopen for order pickups include Arlington (Courthouse) Farmers Market, Columbia Pike Farmers Market, and Westover Farmers Market. Others will be opening later this spring. Each of these markets will only be allowed to have no more than ten customers at a time, and customers are being urged to comply with the social distancing guidelines to prevent the spread of the virus from person-to-person. According to the press release, food orders will be boxed and customers are asked not to touch or inspect their orders on-site. Susan Kalish, the spokeswoman for Arlington Dept.of Parks and Recreation, said that while some vendors have options to place orders online, others might have to be contacted directly by phone or email. She agreed that the process may be cumbersome for the first weekend but it should be ironed out over the coming weeks. Meanwhile, the Columbia Pike Farmers market announced that it will be taking online orders for three vendors. “To ensure we can continue to support our local farmers and provide the community with needed produce and goods while complying with state-wide guidance on distancing and gathering restrictions, we have temporarily moved our Farmers Market to the web,” said the Columbia Pike Revitalization Organization. “Customers will now order from our vendors online and pick up their orders at the market on Sundays. We currently have 3 vendors prepared to take orders for pick-up THIS Sunday, March 29. Please note that orders MUST be placed in advance unless otherwise noted. There will be no shopping at the market.” The nearby Falls Church farmers market is also reopening this weekend with similar rules in place.
