The Napa Farmers Market will be held this Saturday in the parking lot between the Oxbow Public Market and CIA Copia. As happened last week, the market will again be using special social distancing measures to ensure it remains a healthy place to shop for essentials.

The Market will occupy the entire north parking lot to ensure adequate spacing between stalls for social distancing. There will be some parking spaces reserved near the entrance for shoppers with reduced mobility, but all other shoppers should plan to park in the south Oxbow lot only. There will be only one entrance at the southeast corner of the north parking lot, and Market staff and volunteers will again be controlling how many shoppers are allowed in at one time in order to avoid crowding.

There will be helpful spacing reminders to guide queuing at the entrance and throughout the market.

The market will operate from 8 to 9 a.m. for seniors (65+) only – and from 9 a.m. to noon for everyone else.

The Market is encouraging its vendors to offer or expand pre-orders for pickup Saturday, but not all of them have the necessary staff or online presence to do so. You can preview the list of vendors coming this week, see an updated map for this week, and find more information on the Market’s website to make shopping as efficient as possible: www.napafarmersmarket.org/map.
