Coppell Farmers Market Operational Standards during COVID-19 Public Emergency (from coppellfarmersmarket.org)
The City of Coppell defines the Coppell Farmers Market (CFM) as a viable grocery option and is therefore able to continue operating during the Declaration of a State of Disaster that is extended through April 28th so long as additional safety precautions (outlined below) are implemented.
The City of Coppell considers the CFM to be a valuable source of fresh produce, meats, dairy and other local staples and hopes be in a position to support this service through this uncertain time.
The current public health crisis is a developing issue that the city and the CFM will continue to provide updates on. We ask market customers and stakeholders to be patient and adaptable as more information becomes available.
Should Coppell be placed under changed restrictions due to different emergency declarations at some point in the future, these temporary operational standards could be adjusted accordingly.
