Through collaborations with Oswego Health, The Oswego YMCA, The Fulton YMCA and the Richard S. Shineman Foundation, the 2020 markets has developed new operational protocols to promote patron safety while also supporting local farmers.

Throughout the month of June, The Oswego and Fulton YMCAs will act as the drop off locations during abbreviated Thursday afternoon and Saturday morning pick up hours. Oswego and Fulton YMCA employees will assist GOFCC staff during designated pick up hours. The GOFCC will provide an online list with direct links to farm vendors contact information. Patrons are encouraged to contact farms ahead of time, but pre-ordering is not required. This new format will allow shoppers to pick up produce in a low crowd, controlled environment. Patrons will be directed by GOFCC and YMCA staff to leave immediately upon purchasing food. Additionally, sign-in, social distancing, hand washing and personal protective equipment (including masks) will be worn by staff and patrons) at all times during hours
