Famers markets stay open during pandemic

BOWLING GREEN Ky.-Even amidst the pandemic, farmers markets have been deemed essential.

Local markets like the Community Farmers Market just off Nashville Road in Bowling Green, have kept their doors open.

There are safety precautions in place to ensure safe shopping. Visitors and vendors are expected to be masked, and strawberry shaped stickers were placed on the floor to help maintain social distancing.

According to market manager Laura Beth Fox-Ezell, the market is continuing to find creative ways to keep the experience fun, including an upcoming holiday shop.

Their big holiday market event will be on December 5.
