This season, Sims Market has farm and food vendors inside and out. Through June 30 we will continue to require masks at all times unless you are sitting at a table, regardless of vaccination status. Please do not walk around the market without a mask on.
We no longer count as you enter and exit. Sampling is now allowed, as well as eating and drinking inside. We kindly remind you to please put your mask back on once you’re finished eating/drinking. At the end of June we will be reevaluating our guidelines and will keep you updated.
