Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we will not be able to host a farmers market on our campus this spring. We hope to be back up and running in the fall!
Many of our vendors have remained open during this challenging time, and they have created new shopping methods to still serve customers while practicing social distancing. Since we can't host a market this spring, please continue to support our vendors and check out the details below regarding their new shopping methods.
