Agricenter International announced that it will open its Farmer’s Market May 19. The market, which has historically operated six days a week, will begin its 2020 season on an abbreviated schedule due to concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic. It will be open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For now, crafts and other non-food items will not be sold.
“The Farmer’s Market is a critical part of our campus, and we are excited about the opportunity to open the market and offer the community better access to local produce and other farm-raised products,” said John Butler, president of Agricenter International. “We are making new improvements to the Farmer’s Market to address additional concerns during this pandemic. We will be asking all our customers to practice social distancing and follow all local, state and CDC guidelines.”
Agricenter international’s Farmer’s Market has been a partner for the area’s farmers and ranchers since 1986 and is the oldest continuously operated farmer’s market in West Tennessee. “We appreciate our customers’ support and patience over the next few weeks and encourage the entire Mid-South community to support our local farmers,” said Mr. Butler.
