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.

Important Coronavirus Update: We will be open on S

Important Coronavirus Update: We will be open on Sunday. After monitoring the Coronavirus news overnight we’ve come to the conclusion that it is our responsibility to be proactive leaders in our community. It is clear that the recommendations to practice social distancing and to avoid large gatherings is essential to slowing the spread of the infection, which is the key to avoiding the overwhelm on the medical system that many countries are now facing.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
This being said, we also acknowledge the hardships that small businesses and entrepreneurs will face as more and more events and spaces close. Our hope is to do our best to remain open when it is safe and wise to do so. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
It is clear that the situation will change, and that we will need to be constantly monitoring, communicating and adjusting plans. For now, this is our plan for the weekend:⠀⠀
⠀⠀
-The Luna Theater and Dows will be closed Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
-A Little Bazaar will be cancelled on Saturday⠀⠀
⠀⠀
-The Farm Market will run as a limited event. We understand that the farmers and producers rely heavily on market sales, and that many of our customers depend on the food they purchase on Sundays. We will re-evaluate this decision daily and work on precautions and sanitary procedures as well.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
-Coffee and Cotton will remain open. We will expand on our serve safe practices with extended sanitization of surfaces. We will have to continuously monitor this decision as well.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
-The Shops will be open based on their own individual preferences. Please check in with your favorite shops to see what hours they will be keeping.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
These actions will take us through the weekend, after which we will have more information to base our next series of decisions off of.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
We will keep you all posted. Thank you for your continued support!
