Update in light of COVID-19 Crisis: We have created a list of modifications to our normal operations that incorporate health and safety recommendations from the California Department of Food and Agriculture and the California Department of Public Health. These include: * Spacing booths and tables to allow and increase social distancing between non-related customers while shopping and paying. * Encourage participant division of labor between payment and food restocking * Ensure each CFM participant has either a hand-washing station or hand sanitizer and uses them between each transaction. * Offer additional hand washing stations inside the Market space, supplemental to restrooms. * Suspend sampling and hot/prepared on-site food sales. * Increase frequency of cleaning for tables and payment devices. * Eliminate non-essential services like entertainment, to discourage lingering. * Continue to accept government nutrition funds such as EBT/WIC. * Arrange for food recovery for local redistribution when possible. By reopening the Markets in a modified way we are not only looking out for the health and safety of our customers and participants, but providing a critical source of income for our farmers and artisan food makers.The Palm Springs Certified Farmer's Market is next to the Palm Springs Cultural Center. The market will feature a variety of California Farmers and Value Added Vendors who will be selling fresh Summer fruits, vegetables, meats, eggs, cheeses, honey, organic coffee, flowers, rugelah, prepared foods, soups, herb-infused chocolates, soaps, and more! They will also include music by local musicians, food demonstrations, and a variety of special events each week. Verified customers will be able to use SNAP/EBT cards, and be able to take advantage of a Federal Grant Market Match Incentive up to $10 extra dollars per week (per verified customer who spends $10 on EBT). WIC Mothers, WIC and Senior Farmers Nutrition Market Program coupons will also be honored at the markets, and a match program of up to $10 for verified customers who spend $10 at CFM will be available. The Certified Farmers’ Market is proud to host a live summer concert series featuring youth performers of the Coachella Valley on the Pavilion Stage during our indoor Farmers’ Market on Saturdays. From singing and dancing to African percussion instruments there’s something for everyone. All performances are free to the public and take place during the Market hours of 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
