The North Bay Farmers Market is back this coming weekend — but there’s a bit of a change for the time being.

Director Donovan Daniel says only food vendors will be available and online orders can be made at shop.northbayfarmersmarket.com.

“It’s going to reduce the amount of time you spend at the market and eliminate the need to browse. You will be able to complete your purchase in a cash less manner,” he says.

He says there will be an easy pickup express system that’s designed to get you in and out quickly.

He says browsing is being allowed but keep in mind there will be protocols including clearly marked lanes.

“The market asks that only one person per family attends and we ask you leave your pets at home,” Daniel says.

Daniel says there will be many items to choose from to start the season including asparagus and rhubarb.

“We will have bakers, you can shop for your pets, we will have dog food and greens too,” he says.

Daniel says the syrup and honey producers will be on hand and there’ll be some on-line takeout orders as well.

The cutoff for Saturday pickup at the market by the Oak Street Transit Terminal is 11:59 pm Thursday .

This is the 18th summer market season. The Wednesday market is also back in front of the North Bay Museum, beginning next week.

The online order cut-off is 11:59 pm on Monday.
