Wildfires Updates and How You Can Help |
As we face another devastating wildfire season, our thoughts are with our farmers and community impacted by the fires still burning across California. More than 1.3 million acres and 2,000 structures have burned, and thousands of residents have had to evacuate. Several of our farmers evacuated their homes and properties last week, but some have started to return, including Root Down Farm, Fifth Crow Farm, and Blue House Farm, who are planning to be at the farmers market this week.

| | Stay Safe at the Farmers Market |
As poor air quality continues, please exercise caution when venturing outside. Limit your exertion and wear a protective (N95) mask, if you have one. Wear a cloth mask over a N95 to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Those with sensitive medical conditions should stay indoors. Check for updates at baaqmd.gov. Stay safe, and thank you for keeping your market community safe during the pandemic. |
