Albemarle Farmers Market to open Saturday with ‘no-touch’ rules

ALBEMARLE COUNTY, Va. (WVIR) - Just like a lot of things, the Albemarle Farmers Market is going to be different this time around.

The market kicks off the season Saturday, May 2 at its Hollymead Town Center location. This will be a “no-touch market” right now. That means customers have to tell vendors what they want and the vendors will get it.
