Shoppers have the option of pre-ordering through the Orange Farmers Market website and then collecting their purchases on the day, or just rocking up and shopping as normal (well, almost as normal).

"During this challenging time, our community's health and wellbeing is of vital importance," said market manager Holly Manning.

"Fresh fruit and vegetables grown locally are essential for your health and we're providing the safest method of grocery shopping."

The market will be at the Orange Showgrounds on Leeds Parade from 8.30am until midday. All COVID safety measures will be in place including QR check-in, masks required, physical distancing and sanitisation.

Entry to the markets is a gold-coin donation to the Rotary Club of Orange Daybreak.

Shoppers are asked to bring their own bags. Dogs are prohibited inside the Naylor Pavilion.

The Farmers Market is held on the second Saturday of every month.
