2020 Lake County Farmers Markets

3 Shares

Farmers Markets are one of our favorite summer activities. In a normal year, Lake County has enough markets that you could visit one almost every day of the week. This year Farmers Markets are going to look a little different. While many of them are still opening they will be more of an in and out experience.

We encourage you to still make a point to visit the markets weekly and support our local farmers. We have made some notes on the individual market plans but the changes and requirements at most markets are extensive. Similar to most grocery stores families are encouraged to only send one person to the market. Please see the individual market’s website for full rules and regulations. As this is an ever-changing situation we will do our best to keep it up to date and accurate.
