Byron Farmers Market to go ahead If you prefer to get out of the Panic Aisle at Woolies and do more of your shopping in the open air at the Farmers Market, you can still do so this week. However, precautionary measures have been put in place to ensure the safety of customers and farmers, and to limit the spread of COVID-19. ‘The government has clarified the definition of non-essential public gatherings, and under these guidelines farmers’ markets are not currently affected, so Byron Farmers Market will continue to operate for as long as we are advised it is safe to do so,’ said Tom Carey, Byron Farmers Market manager. ‘We believe that offering our community access to fresh food that hasn’t been handled by a large number of people, in an open-air environment, is the responsible thing we can do during these difficult times.

‘Having said that, we have consulted local, state and federal government guidelines to introduce extra precautionary measures at our market in the interests of the customers, stakeholders, staff and community as a whole. ‘For example, while the farmers market is usually a community hub for people to gather, shop, sit and enjoy each other’s company, we have made the decision to remove all seating areas to avoid a ‘static’ environment where people are sitting together for long periods of time. ‘We have also set up hand washing and hand sanitiser stations throughout the market, along with signs about safe hygiene practices. And we have implemented a Coronavirus Policy – with health and safety guidelines for all our stallholders, effective immediately.’

There has been a temporary ban on the use of reusable serving ware, cutlery or cups – including Keep Cups and BYO mugs, a measure that market management said, ‘goes against our sustainability and waste ethos, but is necessary at this stage’. ‘We will continue to monitor this evolving situation, and heed state and federal government advice and regulations. In the meantime, Byron Farmers Market has stepped up our already stringent health and safety procedures, as per the latest government guidelines, as a precautionary measure to ensure we are doing everything we can to offer a safe environment for our community. ‘We appreciate the community’s support and understanding at this time’, said Mr Carey.
