With added precautions, new procedures, and proactive steps to protect market customers, vendors, and staff, a farmers' market is permitted to operate under the essential category identified by Governor DeWine.
Customers must stay home and not return until they are free of fever for at least 72 hours without fever-reducing medication and improvement in respiratory symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath) and, at least 7 days have passed since symptoms first appeared.

The Vendors of the Hancock County Farmers' Market truly appreciate your patronage over the years to build the strong market we know. We ask that you follow the guidelines outlined by the Ohio Farmers' Market Network in order to protect yourself, our senior citizen shoppers and vulnerable populations, and our vendors and volunteers who are bringing you locally grown and produced products in a safe setting.
​

Prioritize only essential purchases and discontinue social gatherings.
-
Send only one member from each household to the market in order to reduce crowd size.
-
Practice the recommended 6’ social distancing from one another while at the market.

Refrain from touching any products, rather allowing the vendor to select and bag products you wish to purchase.
-
Clean your hands frequently. Follow CDC recommendations for cleaning your hands.
-
Accept only new plastic bags from your farmers and producers.
