The Northside Farmers Market has continued running as an essential service during the pandemic. We have made great strides in sanitation and social distancing, as well as now offering online ordering and payment. We would like help with implementing our curbside pickup options for customers. We need help distributing orders to customer’s cars. There will be minimal contact with others as the order will be left outside the door where the orders are being aggregated. The customers will remain in their cars and will have a sign with their name in their car window to identify the order. Customers will pop their trunks or you will open the trunk and place the order in the car for the customer. We are dedicated to maintaining a safe working environment, so Northside Farmers Market will provide a reusable cloth face mask, disinfecting cleaner, gloves, and anything else you may need to feel safe. We will need your help from 3-7pm every Wednesday outside NorthChurch in Northside.
