On Sep. 14, the City of West Hollywood will reopen the Helen Albert Certified Farmers’ Market at Plummer Park from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. offering an array of organic and farm fresh fruits and vegetables, baked goods, fresh fish, and more. The market will open with new coronavirus safety measures in effect, such as the implementation of a priority “Senior Hour” from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., which will allow customers ages 55 and above to have priority access to the market. Seniors may approach the front of the line near the entrance during this time.
Safety guidelines include practicing safe physical distancing of at least six feet and face coverings must be worn at all times. There will be no entrance/no service without a facial covering. Additionally, only vendors are allowed to handle the produce/products before buying.
The market will allow a maximum of 25 customers at a time via controlled entry and exit points. To ensure the Farmers’ Market remains in compliance with City, County, and State guidelines, safety guidelines will be strictly enforced.
West Hollywood is encouraging customers to limit interactions with other customers and vendors and to move through the Farmers’ Market as quickly as possible in order to allow for others waiting for entrance to have an opportunity to shop.
In order to maintain safety protocols at the Farmers’ Market, there will be one entrance on N. Vista Street. Due to the limited number of customers allowed inside the market at once, the line to enter will maintain social distancing of at least six feet between parties.
The market is located at the north parking lot of Plummer Park at 1200 N. Vista Street. One-hour parking is available adjacent to the market in the north parking lot for customers only. Three-hour parking is also available in the south lot of Plummer Park, located at 7377 Santa Monica Boulevard.
The Farmers’ Market will remain open, subject to customer and vendor compliance with food handling, face covering, and social distancing requirements. To learn more, visit https://www.weho.org/community/recreation-services/helen-albert-certified-farmers-market.
