John Jay Homestead’s Farm Market: You must register online beginning Monday mornings at 9am for a half-hour time slot to shop at the upcoming Saturday’s John Jay Farmer’s Market. Only one shopper per household is permitted. Below you will find the safety and hygiene protocols the market has implemented to safeguard your health, as well as the guidelines you will be expected to follow while shopping to protect others.

The good news is that the John Jay website provides links so you can pre-order with some vendors so your order will be ready for pick-up when you arrive. Not all vendors, however, are participating. 

In order to comply with NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets guidelines, we have instituted the following new rules and procedures for the 2020 season for the safety of our patrons, vendors, and staff:
• Advance registration is required to reserve a 30-minute shopping time; proof of registration must be shown upon arrival. Please arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before your scheduled time.
• Only one person per family is allowed to register and attend the market. Please email marketmanager@johnjayhomestead.org if you have a special circumstance that would necessitate a registration for 2 people.
• Please follow the signs for our separate entrance and exit.
• Masks must be worn at all times by everyone attending the market. Vendors are also required to wear gloves. Each vendor stall will have hand sanitizer; additional hand sanitizer will be available at the market manager’s table.
• Only one patron may be in a vendor booth at once; each vendor will have a waiting line with 6-foot spacing.
• Patrons may not touch or handle anything at vendor stalls. No sampling allowed. Products will be pre-packaged to the extent possible. Contactless forms of payment are preferred.
• No dogs allowed. Service animals are the exception.
• We ask that you refrain from socializing and do not linger while in the Market area.

Please note that these rules are subject to change as we see changes in allowable activities and the re-opening of New York.

The buildings at John Jay Homestead remain closed with the exception of the public restrooms.

TIME SLOTS WILL OPEN AT 9:00AM MONDAY MORNINGS FOR THE FOLLOWING SATURDAY’S MARKET.
