IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS: Dear FSFM Community: In light of recent news of confirmed cases of the COVID-19 virus now in Kent County, the Fulton Street Farmers Market Board of Directors has made the difficult decision to indefinitely postpone the Spring Soup Event originally planned to be held on March 28th. The Fulton Street Farmers Market is committed to the wellness and safety of our customers, vendors, staff, and the entire community; and thus, have felt the need to make this difficult decision upon the recommendation of State officials to cancel or postpone gatherings of 100 people or more. We love the Soup event and know you do too, but the Fulton Street Farmers Market is committed to the wellness and safety of our customers, vendors, staff, and entire community and feel it is important to do our part to slow the spread of the virus. At this time, we will proceed with our planned market days, including this Saturday, and hope to see you there. At this and future market days, we will be enforcing a strict no sampling policy and we also encourage patrons to limit the handling of any market products as much as possible. Additionally, we encourage all market patrons to follow safe social distancing and safe hygiene practices as recommended by the CDC. In order to facilitate safe social distancing, vendors will be located in the outdoor section of the market only. We, as an organization and a community market, are committed to providing convenient access to high quality, locally grown, farm fresh product, and also committed to doing our part in keeping the community and our market patrons safe. Decisions to proceed, or not proceed, with future market gatherings at this time are not easy and will not be made lightly. Please know that we are keeping a close eye on this situation and will be following the lead of the Kent County Health Department and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as it relates to other market gatherings. Circumstances such as these can create uncertainty and unease, but we at the market are encouraged by remembering that times of uncertainty can also provide great opportunity for communities to unite and rally! We love the Fulton Street Farmers Market and all of the people, like you, who make it great. We look forward to a successful market year ahead, and hope to see you soon! Sincerely, The Fulton Street Farmers Market Board of Directors Founded in 1922, we've been connecting farmers, food creators, and artists to West Michigan community members for over 97 years! We are fueled by our customer's passion + commitment to their health and local economy and our dedicated vendors who grow + produce the delicious food that nourish us. With 118 outdoor booths and an additional 9 indoor booths the market hosts an amazing assortment of fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy and hand-crafted foods each market day + year-round! As a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, we would not be the beautiful market we are today without the continual support + generous donations from our avid supporters and vendors. Your passion for the local community + good food truly inspires us. |
