Every Saturday morning, the Pawsitively Pure crew heads over to the Lake Mary Farmers Market to set up our booth. These days, there’s nothing quite as refreshing as enjoying a few peaceful moments outside, and Central Park in Lake Mary offers the perfect place to safely enjoy a Saturday morning with your dog.
COVID-19 took away many people’s in-person shopping options and eliminated shopping for fun as an activity. So when farmers markets reopened in the summer of 2020 under special safety guidelines, we rejoiced! With vendors maintaining their distance and enforced masks and hand sanitizer stations, the Lake Mary Farmers Market is safe and fun for responsible shoppers and their friendly dogs.
The Lake Mary Farmers Market is one of our favorites. Here’s why:
There’s a Wonderful Variety of Vendors
Since we started attending this market years ago, we’ve connected with a wonderful group of vendors offering an array of goods. Find your traditional farmers market offerings, like fresh fruits and vegetables, amongst other local makers, artists, and producers. Many stalls have handmade meals and treats; others feature art and home decor. It’s like a mall you can bring your dog to in the beautiful open air!
Precautions are in Place to Keep Attendees Safe
The organizers of the Lake Mary Farmers Market have taken the necessary precautions to keep vendors and attendees safe during the coronavirus outbreak. First of all, vendors maintain at least 6’ of space between their stalls to prevent crowds from forming. Secondly, all in attendance are required to wear masks. Additionally, many vendors and organizers offer hand sanitizer and extra cleaning supplies to prevent the spread of germs.
The atmosphere is pleasant and attendees are all respectful of the rules. We have felt safe during every appearance, and have done our parts to promote the safety of those around us!
Special Events Make Saturdays Fun
The Lake Mary Farmers Market frequently hosts special events, so you can get a healthy dose of holiday fun while staying safe! This month, we’re offering some Pawsitively Pure goodies as prizes for the Halloween Pet Costume Contest, an annual favorite of ours. Organizers have lots of fun and treats in store for the upcoming holidays to make your season just a little brighter!
The Lake Mary Farmers Market takes place at 100 N. Country Club Road in Lake Mary, FL, every Saturday (with exceptions) from 9 AM to 1:30 PM. To learn more about the other vendors and the market in general, follow Lake Mary Farmers Market on Facebook.
