Alpharetta’s Halcyon Farmers Market to kick off with added safety measures

The Forsyth County mixed-use development will start hosting its farmers market on May 19

Things continue to come to life at the 135-acre mixed use development, known as Halcyon, in Alpharetta.

On May 19, Halcyon in Alpharetta will kick off its farmers market for the season — with some added safety measures.

The market, which will feature a variety of local vendors, will continue weekly from 4-7 p.m. on Tuesdays until Oct. 27.

The range of fresh produce and provisions offered will include honey, berries, peaches, flowers, jams, cheeses, granola and breads.

Like other markets throughout the metro area, the Halcyon Farmers Market has pledged to implement measures to promote distancing and increased hygiene.

Vendors will be required to regularly disinfect booths, wear masks and gloves. There will also be options to pre-order and use contact-free payment options. Free masks will also be available for customers who want one and do not bring their own, according to an announcement from the market.
