The first edition of the 2020 Hope Farmers Market was held Tuesday downtown at the Hub.  Market Manager Jodi Coffee said they had approximately 7 vendors and will have more as soon as more produce is available.  Some producers have been delayed due to rainy conditions this spring.  The market is held each Tuesday from 7am until 11am.  Due to the COVID-19 situation, there are a few changes this year.  The market can’t have a hospitality booth or demoes yet this year.  Customers are asked to social distance and have as close to exact change as possible.  Customers are asked not to handle the products and to let the vendors pick and pack they their selections.  Despite the changes this year, a good crowd turned out to enjoy the products available at the market on Tuesday!
