New York Agriculture and Markets and the New York State Department of Health have teamed with food safety experts at Cornell University to draw up guidelines for safe shopping and picking.&nbsp;Cornell Cooperative Extension and Team Tioga have been working with farms and the farmers\u2019 markets so they can operate within the guidance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They are requiring that a mask be worn and that social distancing guidelines are followed when shopping at the markets.&nbsp;The farmers will not be able to let you sample from open containers, and it is best to have them handle the produce you plan on buying.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The markets will not be able to offer entertainment or seating for picnicking.&nbsp;There will be hand sanitizer available, as well, to utilize while shopping at the markets.<\/p>\n<p>Pick Your Own farms are planning how you can have a safe, fun, healthy experience picking berries this summer.&nbsp;Each farm will have developed their own set of safe practices, so the best idea is to call ahead or check social media or their website to see if you need an appointment, picking dates and times, and the like.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about where to find local food, pick your own farms and farmers\u2019 markets, check out the Buy Local guide put together by Cornell Cooperative Extension.&nbsp;The website is located at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/buylocalfoodny.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">buylocalfoodny.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sun is shining, the crops are growing, and it is time to taste the fruits and vegetables of summer.&nbsp;Farmers\u2019 Markets throughout Tioga County are&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":79935,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-79934","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
