WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?

We are here to support our farmers and customers. We are here for you, our friends. Food is an essential service and we believe that hosting our vendors outdoors is the safest way to do so. Mill No. 5 is not collecting any table fees and is not profiting from this market. We are so thankful for our community and look forward to better times ahead. In the meantime, we are here to facilitate healthy food options from our wonderful farmers and food producers.

It may be a bit chilly, but we’re psyched there won’t be rain. Come down to the market today 10am to 1pm to get your local produce, eggs, meat, jams & jellies, and more. Then warm up with a cup of coffee from @coffee_and_cotton to complete your Sunday. Mill No. 5 will be open until 4pm.

This has been a weird and difficult year. With the holidays just around the corner, we know this holiday season will be a hard one to predict, so we are planning slowly and carefully as we navigate these unprecedented times.
⠀
⠀
As we enter into the season of gratitude and giving we want to take a moment to thank the patrons of The Farm Market and Mill No. 5. Thank you for showing up, supporting local small businesses and the community, for wearing your masks, and washing your hands.
⠀
We have decided to continue to hold the farm market outside for as long as the weather holds out. Our goal is to safely help feed the community, and support local farmers and small businesses. We’ll continue to monitor the situation closely and carefully, and as always- prioritize the safety of our community.
⠀
We’re uncertain what the future holds, but we do know we are in it together. We’ll be here as long as you keep showing up- rain, snow, or shine.

Right now the skies are blue and the sun is out. We’re hoping to make through today’s market without a drop of rain. Come early-the tomatoes and celery won’t last long. Market hours: 10am-1pm.

Please note- Neighbor’s Acre won’t be here today. Karen and her micro greens will be back next week.

As COVID cases are rising nationally and locally, we're here to remind you that we’re still taking this pandemic extremely seriously. ( Just because we’re over it, doesn’t mean it’s over!) We also want to thank our visitors for being so awesome and caring for the safety of our community! We’re open for your local shopping needs on Saturdays and Sundays from 10-4 (9am this Saturday, but more on that later) following the protocols listed below:⠀
⠀
- When you arrive at Mill No. 5 you will find staff and signage aplenty to direct you towards our entry. We will be encouraging the use of our stairwells, but the elevator will also be available as requested. The stairwell closest to the breezeway will be used for traffic going up, and the stairwell nearest The Luna Theater will be used for traffic going down.⠀
⠀
- All visitors must wear masks (properly covering nose and mouth)⠀
⠀
- Social distancing guidelines will be observed⠀
⠀
- As much as it pains us to say: Please make your visit as brief as possible. Visit your favorite shops, make a purchase, then make room for the next guests. ⠀
⠀
- Each shop will have guidelines about how many visitors may be in the space at a time.⠀
⠀
-Sanitization stations will be available in common spaces as well as in each shop⠀
⠀
- Coffee and Cotton will be open and serving coffee and a limited menu for TAKE OUT ONLY. Please do not remove your mask to eat or drink indoors.⠀
⠀
- You can find The Farm Market outside in the rear lot on Middlesex St. ⠀

“This photo is the cover photo on our Facebook page and every time I log onto that page, it makes me smile. Our market is bustling with great food, great vendors and a great community of customers. There are so many other photos of our food, vendors and community that I could have shared but this is a trifecta of what our market represents.” -Market Manager Kim.
