The SFFM will follow the CDC’s and the Governor’s mask recommendations. The current policy is:
INDOOR MASK REQUIREMENT
Everyone (staff, vendors and customers) must wear masks while indoors at the market. Indoors includes the market hall, bathrooms, hallways, shop space and offices. This mandate is in effect until at least September 15.
Customers will still be allowed to eat and drink indoors ONLY while sitting at a table. Vendors are allowed to eat and drink at their booth area indoors if necessary but please do this away from your customers.
OUTDOOR MASK REQUIREMENT
Staff/Vendors:
Market staff/vendors who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can choose to work without a mask outdoors if they first provide management with their vaccination card showing they have been fully vaccinated. A person is considered fully vaccinated 14 days after the second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine; OR 14 days after a single-dose vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine.
Customers:
In accordance with guidance from the CDC and state or local mandates, customers who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 are welcome to shop in our market & shops without a mask outdoors. We request that individuals not fully vaccinated please continue to wear a mask both outdoors and indoors for their safety and the safety of others.
![Thank you @sfreporter for the great interview with Santa Fe Farmers’ Market Institute @farmers_market_institute Executive Director Manny Encinias! He has some choice words about the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market and how the Institute work together to foster a thriving community. Click the link in the bio to read the whole article.
“The [Santa Fe Farmers’] market is unique in that it’s a year-round market in the middle of the desert. And from a nurturing perspective, beyond providing fresh, healthy, local food, the market gives a unique sense of community. It’s a regular place where people can gather and feel refreshed with a sense of kindness and giving.
Sharing, bartering: that’s part of the communities of Old New Mexico, the fabric of what builds New Mexico, that neighborhood community feeling. When you have these amazing conversations with market regulars, that’s what our souls miss in normal everyday life. That’s the one time when you’re not only eating delicious food, you’re filling your soul.”](https://santafefarmersmarket.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
