Hoboken City-Run Farmer Market abrirá el próximo mes, pero el mercado privado no lo hará

Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla has announced that the city-run, farmer’s market will be returning early next month.  However, the privately-run farmer’s market will not be returning to the city this year.

The Mayor announced the news in his nightly coronavirus update on Tuesday:

City-run farmers market to continue

We are carefully reviewing various activities that have been considered routine for years, due to the safety challenges of COVID-19. One outdoor activity that we have determined can safely re-open with added precautions, beginning June 2, is our Hoboken Farmers’ Market, located on Garden Street between 4^th and 5^th Streets. I believe it’s important for residents to continue to have access to fresh produce and products in order to stay healthy, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The vendors and staff have agreed to additional social distancing regulations including increasing the space between each vendor by operating on both sides of the block, a requirement of all staff, vendors and customers to wear glove and face masks, and each side of the street operating in one direction with pedestrian traffic. I ask residents to please take extra precautions when heading to the farmers’ market.

Unfortunately, the private organization that normally runs the uptown farmers market on Garden Street at 14^th Street has decided to cancel their farmers market for the rest of 2020.
