*COVID UPDATE*
YES! Farmers m
arkets are an essential food service under current restrictions, and Melbourne Farmers Markets (MFM) are operating where we can. Since March, we've relocated to our Alphington HQ, but now, other than the weekly market on Sundays, no public are allowed on site for the remainder of Stage 4 lockdown. To be the first to know where we're relocating, and to find out which of our farmers markets are operating in your area, sign up to our newsletter: https://bit.ly/3kmBbMX. Remember, we are an essential food service (not a place to gather or socialise) and the one shopper per household rule applies. All DHHS recommended actions while shopping should be followed including respecting customer limits, wearing a mask (unless you have a lawful reason for not doing so), and not attending if you're awaiting COVID test results. Make sure you're across our safety precautions below and rest assured we’re experienced in the management of these, having continually traded throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. We have limits on the number of customers allowed on site at any one time, have implemented strict precautions, increased staff, and altered market layouts and flow. We are confident that the open-air environment of our farmers markets, together with the below precautions and operational adjustments, means our markets provide some of the safest shopping options to you.
- If you're feeling sick, stay at home.
- Practice good hand hygiene. Hot food is available for take-away only and must be consumed off-site.
- Limit your time at market. Make a list of things you need so you can shop quickly and minimise your time out of the house.
- Leave the team at home: Only one person per household can leave home to get necessary goods and services. If you are unable to leave a child or at-risk person at home unattended, then they may accompany you
- Bring your card: Markets are cash free. Even the gate donations are by tap and go!
- Go to the toilet before leaving home: Toilets will only be made available to the public in emergency situations (yes, a desperate child does count as an emergency - but we ask, where possible, to leave the kids at home).
- Do not touch the produce.
- Adhere to social distancing. We also have a contactless pick-up available from Alphington every Sunday. For more information, join our Melbourne Farmers Marketplace group. To stay up to date with all things Melbourne Farmers Market in this topsy turvy time, sign up to our newsletter: https://bit.ly/3kmBbMX. Finally, be kind.
