WATERVILLE — The Downtown Waterville Farmers’ Market will have its opening day April 30 at the Head of Falls, continuing Thursdays from 2 through 6 p.m. as a food distribution location. The first half hour is dedicated to shopping for senior citizens and “high risk” patrons.
Due to COVID-19 concerns, the market is encouraging pre-orders from the local farmers. There will be an updated list of vendors posted on the Facebook page listing those attending the opening so that they may be contacted directly.
A recent Facebook post outlined some specific cautions and operational rules which will be in place for the market:
* Residents are reminded to follow safety rules when visiting the market and to send a friend or neighbor to retrieve groceries if someone in the household is sick or has symptoms of the virus.
* Visitors to the market are asked to keep a distance of six feet from each other and to allow the vendors as much space as possible during transactions. The first half hour of the market will be reserved for senior citizens along with “high risk” customers. Everyone is asked to refrain from socializing, eating or lingering in the market or vicinity.
* It will be helpful to the vendors to bring an assortment of smaller bills if paying with cash, or providing a pen if paying with a check. Residents are encouraged to bring their own hand sanitizer.
