SUN PRAIRIE, Wis. — The Sun Prairie Farmers’ Market returned to Cannery Square Saturday for the season.
The start of the pandemic cleared the booths and tents from Market Street last year, offering only curbside pick-up.
Now, vendors and customers are able to shop for homemade goods and fresh food in-person.
Sarah Wells, manager of the Sun Prairie Farmers’ Market, says new and old vendors have come back.
“We have a lot of vendors who have been waiting anxiously for this day for a while now,” Wells said.
Masks are recommended and vendors are spaced out six-feet. The market also asks people to social distance.
According to shoppers, COVID guidelines don’t bother them. They are happy to be back.
“It’s nice to be outside. It’s nice to be around other people,” said shopper, Lilly Kovach.
The market is experiencing a new normal this year, but the relationship between vendors and customers hasn’t changed.
Vendor of Restoration Soap and Body Care, Ruth Collins, says seeing customers face-t0-face makes business more enjoyable.
“That’s one of the things I love about doing the farmers’ market,” Collins said. “You get to see all of the people you met the year before.”
The market will be open every Saturday 7 a.m. to noon at Market Street and Cannery Place.
