customer guidelines
Thank you for shopping locally at the Watertown Farm & Craft Market! The long standing market is loyally located along Washington Street in Downtown Watertown each Wednesday 7AM - 3PM. The 2020 season has continued to provide our community with fresh homegrown and unique handmade products while implementing New York State mandates as an essential business in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are proud to offer an open-air market that is essential to the local community; a venue to buy healthy, local food, an opportunity for shopping while practicing social distancing and an avenue for our customers to connect with the people who grow their food.
We’d like to thank you, our shoppers and our vendors for your support in upholding New York State guidelines. As a community, we must continue to act in compliance with state mandates in order to maintain our status as an essential business and be allowed to continue operation of the market.
We are operating under strict social distancing guidelines for the health and safety of our customers, vendors, and volunteers. Please help us keep the market safe and healthy by adhering to the following guidelines:
Executive Order 202.17: Requiring any individual over age two, and able to medically tolerate a face-covering, be required to cover their nose and mouth with a mask or cloth face-covering when in a public place (including the Watertown Farm & Craft Market).
Enjoy fresh, local produce and products from your own community! Thank you for your cooperation.
With appreciation,
Market Staff
Note: Guidelines subject to change per NYS directives
