Weather Policy

Announcements regarding the opening or closing of the market will be made through our social media.

Rain: Light to moderate rain is not considered severe weather, and the market will remain open on rainy days.

Severe Weather: The market will close if severe weather (thunder, lightning, tornado, etc.) is observed at the market or within a 10-mile radius via radar. The market will resume when the severe weather passes and no other severe weather is predicted for thirty (30) minutes. If the severe weather continues for an extended time, or if more severe weather is expected during the market hours, the market manager will cancel the market for that day.

Heat:

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.
