The Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries has worked on a set of guidelines that we believe will be in the best interest of our markets, their farmers and consumers. These are based on the potential risks associated with COVID-19 and its impact on health and the economic well-being of our farmers.
MARKET OPERATING GUIDELINES DURING COVID-19 OUTBREAK:
MARKET CUSTOMER BEST PRACTICES DURING COVID-19 OUTBREAK:
We encourage everyone who is healthy and feels safe to visit our farmers’ markets in order to procure healthy, local food from area farmers, ranchers and small businesses. But we ask that you follow these strict guidelines:
Our market is held June 2nd through September 1st of each Tuesday from 3:30 - 6:30 on the lawn of the
First Baptist Church of Meridianville located at
175 Monroe Road, Meridianville, AL 35759. We will be back the following year, usually in June.
We enjoy bringing local products to the Merdianville and surrounding communities. When you purchase from our vendors, you know where and how the food/product was grown/fed/fertilized/processed.
We strive to host a family-friendly market. Children are always welcome. We ask that patrons refrain from smoking in the market area. Dogs are welcome; we request their "parents" keep them on a leash and clean up after them.
Sweet Grown Alabama is developing a database where Alabamians can locate their Local Farmers for Alabama-grown foods and other agricultural products.
