NFM Farm & Flea Market Sheds Open for Regular Business!

May 10, 2010

Due to the immense & powerful efforts from volunteers & merchants who have worked tirelessly all week after the flood, we are proud to announce our Farm Sheds & Flea Market are OPEN & have resumed normal hours (Farm Side 8am-6pm every day, Flea Market Friday-Sunday 8am-6pm).  The best thing you can do for NFM is come buy from our merchants!   There are however, a few changes to be aware of if you are heading out to the Market made necessary so we can get fully back up and running as quickly & safely as possible for you!

• The Market House remains closed and will likely stay that way for at least another week--we will keep you updated.   There is absolutely NO ENTRY into the Market House.   Restrooms are the portable kind outside.  There are also portable handwashing stations as well.
• Merchants ONLY are allowed to enter from the North (by DGI) & South (By Gardens of Babylon) gates until around 8:30am until further notice.  You must unload and remove your vehicle from the gated area by 9am.  If your car or trailer completely fits into your space you may utilize that--however you cannot stick-out or side-car.You may park in the lot near the African-American Museum site or any of the state lot's.  We must protect & maintain the safety of our friends & customers.  Any vehicles inside the gates and not in spaces will be towed without notice.
• Customers may park on 6th Avenue, 7th Avenue or in any of the surrounding state lot's. We are not certain if our Rosa L. Parks lots will be available this weekend yet or not.    Non-merchants will not be allowed to bring vehicles inside the gated area of the property (around sheds and Market House) at any time while we are undergoing repairs & re-renovations.  Vehicles in unauthorized areas will be subject to towing without notice.

Thank you & we'll keep you updated.  Shop NFM & Support Our Local Merchants!
