Hi Everyone,

We are reopening this Sunday --Yay! under the strict new DC farmers market waiver rules which were designed to keep both customers and producers safe and healthy.  I will be sending you a detailed email tomorrow about the new layout and the new rules and how we are going to keep you and our producers healthy and safe.  (Yes, it involves a single exit to the market and controlled numbers in the market and is not limited to social distancing, one way flow, masks, and lots of sanitizers of course).  Masks or face coverings will be required in the market.

Crazy story: The market email was attacked by 5000 bots or false names a few days ago and our email server deactivated us.  It has taken 5 frustrating days to get reactivated (long story, another day) so I want to send out a quick email so that you have time to pre order with those producers who are accepting pre orders.    You do not have to pre order except with Number 1 Sons but it makes shopping quicker and more contactless.  Grab and Go is the new motto in all the DC Farmers Markets. 
 
Number 1 Sons fabulous ferments are by pre-order and prepay  only.  Everyone else does both, Pre Order is not mandatory but it helps make shopping quicker and minimizes contact.  


GARNER's PRODUCE: Orders for Sunday by 7pm Friday if you want one of their two seasonal strawberry and vegetable boxes, cornmill, grits, eggs, pepper jelly: https://www.garnersproduce.com/dcmarket-pickup.  They will also pack what you ask for at the stand salad and cooking greens, scallions, spring onions, garlic scapes, cabbages, cut herbs, carrots, broccoli and spinach --and strawberries and asparagus.  Be sure to mark 14&U FM when you order
