23 MAY 2020 - AMES, IOWA: JASON JONES sells salad greens in his stand at the Farmers' Market in downtown Ames. Jones grows his greens on a farms in Maxwell, IA. He said it felt "really good" to be able to reopen his market stand. The Ames Main Street Farmers' Market reopened Saturday after nearly a month of only online sales because of Iowa's bans on large gatherings caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Only about 15 venders set up stalls Saturday and attendance was significantly lower than normal. All of the venders wore face masks and many, but not all, of the shoppers wore face masks. Farmers' markets are popular community gatherings in Iowa, but they've been on hiatus since the Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. At this time, Iowa farmers' markets are not allowed to have entertainment or sell non-food or non-agricultural goods. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
