No Pet policy

no pet Policy

We love dogs--and many of us have them!--but we do not allow dogs in the market area (except for trained service animals).

There are two main issues with dogs (and pets) at farmers' markets: food safety and personal safety.

• Food safety – There are concerns over safety and sanitary issues from health officials. Conversations have been had about dogs jumping on vendor tables and coming in contact with food, and dogs relieving themselves and vomiting in the proximity of food.

• Personal safety - The market's growth has crowded the walkways, pushing dogs and people, especially children, closer together. Accidents happen, and there are concerns about potential injuries to customers and other pets.

Thank you for your understanding.
