The recent deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Dominique "Rem'mie" Fells and Manuel Ellis have highlighted ongoing systemic racism, police brutality and the dehumanization of people of color in the United States. The Proctor Farmers’ Market board members and staff share the grief and anger about how these injustices continue to impact communities of color. Black Lives Matter, and our society will not manifest its full potential until all people are valued as their full selves. It is imperative that individuals and organizations (including us) understand our role in perpetuating systemic racism and help undo it to create a just society.
Systemic racism is everywhere and anti-racism work is essential. The Proctor Farmers’ Market acknowledges that we have not done everything we can in undoing systemic racism. Going forward we will educate ourselves and create a more just and equitable space by initiating outreach that actively supports people of color in our communities and in our local food system.
The Proctor Farmers’ Market will commit to meaningful, systemic reform to include:

The Proctor Farmers’ Market will commit to meaningful, systemic reform to include:
- Take steps to remove any potential unknown barriers to vendors, farmers, customers and staff of color participating in the Proctor Farmers’ Market.
- Engage staff and board in training to deepen our understanding of systemic racism.
- Seek feedback to deepen our understanding of the experiences vendors, customers, staff, and volunteers of color have at the Proctor Farmers’ Market. We will continue to foster more inclusive experiences at PFM and then make the changes.

-Here's What We're Doing to Ensure A Safe Shopping Experience-
We have completely modified our market operations and layout to help provide
a shopping experience with safety and health as a top priority.
As 'essential grocery' we are permitted to be open during the state-wide close down to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19, and have instituted state and local requirements including the elimination of sampling, cooking demos, musical entertainment, events, and cafe seating and dining. We have added hand sanitizing stations, and guidelines for vendors, staff, and volunteers which includes face masks, gloves, and strict sanitation training. Additionally there will be staggered entry of shoppers, and signage, staff, and volunteers
throughout the Market to reinforce 6' distancing.
Our goal is to keep our Market open & safe, with a focus on farms, food makers,
and access to local foods -- and your role is key:
