May 10 Pick Up Market
Eamon Molloy
May 8 10:00 am The ordering period for most vendors in now closed.
Here's this week's list of vendors and how you can order. Are you using SNAP benefits or do you know someone who wants to use their benefits? Double Up Food Bucks matches SNAP benefits with vouchers to use for the purchase of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and plants that grow food. That's right, if you want to buy any start that produces food, you can use your SNAP benefit and DUFB vouchers. Contact the vendor and let them know you wish to use SNAP. Also contact me (link). I will have our card machine available. We won't be handing out the actual vouchers. We will apply Double Up Food Bucks as appropriate to your purchase.
We added a few more vendors to the online platform this week. Not registered yet? Register as a customer here (link). The ordering period will begin on Tuesdays at 4:00 PM and close at 11:59 PM on Thursday. You can order nursery stock from Garden Color, hummus, pitas, and more from Hummus Stop, cocoa products from Momo Cocoa, eggs, vegetables, chevon (goat) ground and stew and eggs from Mama Tee’s Farmstead, meats, vegetables, soaps and more from Naked Acres Farm on our ordering site this week. We'll add more vendors in the coming weeks.
PPS has moved up the Rieke Parking lot construction by 6 weeks. The parking area from SW Vermont St to the soccer field/playground path will be fenced off by this weekend. The project should be completed by the end of June. So how does that affect the market? We won't be a drive through market this weekend. Pre-orders are still required but you will be walking through. Here are the basic rules:
We will be limiting access inside the market space to 65 people at a time. Please consider sending only one person per household into the market space.As always, ONLY service animals are permitted inside the market space.
Foot traffic will flow one way from SW Capitol Hwy south toward SW Vermont. Use the sidewalks on either side of the parking lot to get back to SW Capitol Hwy.
Safe distance waiting spots will be marked in front of each vendor's setup.
We don't have enough wagons. If you are ordering a lot of items, consider bringing your own or choose to use curbside pickup. (More on that option below)
If you have a mask please bring it and wear it. It is not a requirement this week but will be starting May 17th.
Hand washing stations will be set up at the entrance and exit. Feel free to use them.
We will be carefully monitoring the 6 foot safe physical distance rule. If a volunteer or staff members asks you to create a bigger space, please comply.
We are also offering curbside pickup. The construction project makes where to place the pickup site tricky. The tentative site will be on SW Vermont St just west of the parking lot entrance. Pick up hours will be 10:30 am to 12:00 pm. We need the first half hour the market is open to move the curbside orders to the location. Sign up for a curbside pickup time here (link). (NOTE: This is a new online scheduling system. It should be easier to use than the last one. Email me (link) if you have problems.) Be sure to enter which vendors you ordered from. We can get your orders ready more quickly that way.
Thank you for pivoting with this unplanned shift in operations. Like our first drive through market, we will learn a lot this Sunday and improve the operation in the coming weeks.
