RFM Customer Guidelines
Do not attend the Market if you are sick or at risk. When in doubt, err on the side of caution. Consider asking a friend or family member to pick up your market items for you.
If possible, only one person from each household should attend the market.
Leave all pets at home.
A handwashing station will be provided at the market. Wash your hands for 20 seconds upon arrival at the market and frequently as you move throughout the market.
Vendors and customers must maintain physical distance of at least six feet at all times.
Shop with a purpose and do not linger.
Do not congregate or socialize at the market and please keep a respectful distance from others.
To expedite your shopping, consider making a grocery list and/or make preorders through RFM’s online market https://www.localline.ca/ronan-farmers-market.
We are allowing more space between each vendor’s booth. These are not walkways, but distancing measures, so please avoid walking between the booths.
There will be no onsite food consumption. All prepared foods will be packaged to-go with the expectation that the food will be consumed offsite.
Please be patient. Vendors will help only one customer at a time.
Do not touch any items on vendors’ tables. Describe what you want and point to it. Vendors will bag your items.

Here are the basic details:
$5 to see the show / limited seating available / pay at the door
Wine Bar opens at 4 PM
Comedy starts at 7 PM
Wine with ID
All ages, but there’s very adult language and content. We are not responsible for explaining to your kids what hand jobs and LSD are.
And here are our safety measures:
- The show will take place out on the side lawn
- There are limited seats so that groups can stay distanced
- Comedians will each have their own mics
- Attendees are asked to wear masks when out of their seats or inside the building to use the restrooms
Let us know if you have questions or concerns.
As always: double punches on wine cards on Thursdays!
Come as early as 4 PM to enjoy a glass of wine and a slice of pizza, or come at 7 PM to just catch the jokes.
You’re welcome to bring snacks and things to go with your wine and laughs.
