SYRACUSE, N.Y. — As spring sunshine drew large crowds to the CNY Regional Market on Saturday, one thing was clear: You can get people to wear masks, but at the market you can’t get them to spread out.
There were no one-way aisle signs, plexiglass partitions, or six-foot social distancing signs.
Some shoppers found it jarring. One remarked to his companion while trying to avoid the masses, “We are going to have social Darwinism. People can’t help themselves.”
Lessons learned from safely shopping at a grocery store can inform how to approach farmers market shopping.
The open-air buildings were full of mask-clad patrons, local food and the farmers who raised it. Brightly colored flowers filled the outside spaces, drawing crowds. Far from the strained, careful atmosphere of most supermarkets these days, the feeling was peaceful. Other than cloth masks, it felt normal.
