Why Dogs Aren’t Allowed at the Farmers Market

For the safety of our community and the future of farmers markets

Health and Safety Concerns

• Health Department Regulations: The market must comply with health department regulations, which prohibit dogs in areas where food is being sold or prepared. This ensures a clean and safe environment for everyone.

• Food Safety Risks: Dogs, even the most well-behaved ones, can introduce bacteria or cause contamination that could affect the food products sold at the market.

Your Cooperation is Critical

• Protect Our Market: When customers bring dogs into the market, it jeopardizes our compliance with city and health regulations. If these rules are ignored, the city may shut down the market, affecting not only vendors but also the entire community.

• Preserve the Market for Future Generations: We rely on the community’s cooperation to keep the market running smoothly and safely for all. Ignoring the no-dogs policy puts this beloved community space at risk.

What You Can Do

• Please leave your dogs at home when visiting the market.

• Let others know about the importance of keeping our market dog-free.

• Thank you for understanding and helping us keep the market open and safe for everyone!
