The Market is Opening Sat, June 6 at 8 am

Farmers markets are an essential part of the food industry and as such, we have begun distributing food for the month of May in a pre-order, pick up format. At this time, a customer may choose any vendor of food, produce, food plant, or personal hygiene product from the index below, place an order, and choose to pick up from the market. You are also encouraged to place orders with our lovely craft vendors for shipping or contactless delivery.

At our opening in June, things will feel quite different from the environment we have been cultivating over the years! Many of the measures we will be taking are familiar from the expectations at your regular indoor grocery store. Please only send one person from your household to shop, wear a mask, and wash your hands at our provided handwashing station (we also have hand sanitizer in the dispensers in the center of the market).

Sadly, one of the most important messages we will be sending is: please do not linger. All events, music, and kids’ activities are suspended for both Saturdays and Tuesdays. We will be controlling how many people can be in the market at a time, so please look for an entrance gate at the south side of the market, next to the handwashing station. More instructions will be available closer to opening.

SNAP, PEBT, Double Up Food Bucks, WIC and Senior Project Fresh

Many residents have needed to sign up for food assistance benefits during the pandemic and we are happy to welcome you to the Dexter Farmers Market! Don’t be shy to have us walk you through anything you need to know to get healthy food on your table, utilizing your Bridge or PEBT card.
