SUPPORT OTHERS DURING THE GLOBAL REBOOT


SUPPORT OTHERS DURING THE GLOBAL

REBOOT AND HANG ON! 

 

It’s tough times, but we are in this together.

We know it’s an inconvenience. We understand that you would prefer to touch, smell and pick out your own produce and products.   But please have faith and trust in your vendors to still provide you with the freshest and best produce or product they have available.  They won’t fail you.    Please don’t fail them.

 We will have our product and produce available online only, with pickup location to be announced closer to market opening date of May 9.  Payment to be made on line by Credit Card. No cash or checks to pass hands during the virus outbreak.

It’s in your best interest and the best interest of our vendors to practice social distancing during this crisis and this seems to be the best way to ensure the produce and products that our vendors offer,  can be delivered safely at this time.

We all look forward to a time when these precautions are no longer necessary, and we can all meet once again at the market. Be able to talk, laugh, shake hands, and hug one another.

Oh, how I for one, miss seeing all of you, and your smiling faces.

Please place orders weekly with your favorite vendor, keep them in business, don’t let them go under.

Shop Small, local businesses, even, if for now it can only be online.

 

Thank you,

Vendors, Volunteers, and Staff of

Greeneville Farmers Market
