Market Weather Policy
Common Greens is committed to providing a safe outdoor space where food producers can reliably connect to consumers. If inclement weather should occur, CG staff will make decisions to change market times based on weather reports and on-site market conditions. CG Managers have the authority to close a market early, open a market late, or cancel a market day due to severe or inclement weather. CG producers will be notified of the change in a timely manner by email or phone. During inclement weather events, it is up to the individual producer to decide whether to attend the market or not. Absences due to hazardous or severe weather (other than rain) will not count against the producer's attendance record.
Rain: The market goes on rain or shine. If there is lightning within 30 seconds of thunder the market will be cancelled.
Wind: The market goes on during standard wind events. Market will be cancelled if there is a tornado watch or warning in effect for our area.
