We appreciate your patronage this year and your support of our local farmers and vendors! We have decided to open the market to include few craft vendors each week, we will be listing our full vendor list on our website each week. Please read below for a few other updates and notices.

DOGS:
Dogs will be allowed at the market again, please keep them on-leash and under control and of course, please pick up after them as necessary.

REUSABLE BAGS:
You may bring your own reusable bags to the market. Vendors will not be handling them but you may use it to place your own items in.

MARKET ENTRANCE/EXIT:
There will continue to be one entrance and one exit for the market, they are both on the end of the market closest to the church & traffic circle. Per the board of health, we are only allowed to have a certain number of customers at any one time. Please do not enter or exit the market under the yellow caution tape. This causes our counting to be off and may mean that your fellow community members will be waiting in line unnecessarily. We would greatly appreciate if you complete your shopping as quickly as possible and then exit the market to allow other customers to enter the market. We appreciate your patience as we know there have been lines many days.

MARKET DATES:
As of now, the market will be running through October, our last day is scheduled to be Sunday October 25th. Should any adjustments be made, we will post an update on our website & Facebook.

THANK YOU!

**ANNOUNCEMENT** The opening of the Swampscott Farmers Market will be delayed this year. We will be posting soon to announce our opening day which will likely be the beginning of July.
 
In order to comply with state, town, and local farmers market best practices in the current COVID-19 situation, the market will host up to 15 local farm and food vendors. We are working with these vendors now on safety precautions, a new market layout, market preorders, and other important details that will allow us to start the season safely.
 
Watch this space for more information in the coming weeks. We have a lot of logistical work to do to ensure a safe market for all and we will pass that information on as we sort out all the details.
