Welcome to the Proctor Farmers' Market
Smoke and this Saturday's Market
It looks like relief from the smoke may be coming soon. We will continue to monitor air quality daily, and right now we plan to be open.
Please check in on Facebook, Twitter, or this website for up-to-date information on any last-minute changes regarding the Market's status
for this Saturday, September 19, 2020.
The fires and smoke have impacted farmers and food workers throughout WA state, including the small farms and businesses who, despite health alerts, may not be able to stop work or leave crops unpicked in their fields or orchards.
Throughout intemperate weather years, COVID-19, and now the smoke in our air, our farmers and food makers have always managed to keep fresh foods available to the public, and we will continue to support them by keeping our Market open unless you hear otherwise from us.
In addition to the constant monitoring of EPA air quality sites, we have provided our Vendors, Staff, and Volunteers with additional PPE, and their attendance at the Market is completely voluntary - they may opt-out at any time. Last Saturday many shoppers called to find out if we were open and, like our Vendors who were at the Market, expressed their gratitude that we were.
Thank you for your continued support!

-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.
Farmers Markets are considered 'essential businesses' and food access points, and, like grocery stores, we are permitted to be open during COVID-19. We have instituted state and local requirements including the elimination of sampling, cooking demos, musical entertainment, kids booth, 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:
