Announce a farmers market location change
Name the market and affected date, then give the replacement address and your stall landmark. State whether the whole market moved or only your business changed its selling location.
Distinguish the organizer's move from your own move
‘We moved markets’ can mean a venue relocation, a different event, or a stall change within the same site. Explain which happened. Verify the venue and hours with the organizer before directing customers there.
Check existing market pickups separately. A new stall location may work for browsing but change order collection, parking, or entry. Give written directions in addition to a maps link, especially for temporary venues with unfamiliar entrances.
Before you send
- Verify market name, venue, date, and hours with the organizer.
- Clarify whether the move affects the whole market or only your stall.
- Name the entrance and a recognizable stall landmark.
- Update existing pickup instructions and contact affected buyers through the order route.
Message examples to adapt
These are original examples. Replace bracketed details and check every promise before using them.
Market venue moved
Subject: Find [Farm] at [new venue] on [date]
The [market name] on [date] will take place at [new address], replacing [old venue]. We will trade [hours], near [stall landmark]. Confirmed pickups use [collection details]. Please check [organizer link] for current venue information. Order questions: [contact].
Seller attending another market
Subject: [Farm] attends [market] instead on [date]
On [date], [Farm] will sell at [new market and address] during [hours], rather than [usual market]. The usual market's own arrangements are [only if verified]. Our stall is [landmark]. Existing pickup customers should follow [confirmed order instructions].
Help regulars unlearn the old route
Update your market calendar and profile notice so new visitors see the current plan. If the move is for one date only, make that visible and confirm the next appearance separately.
Use the same stall landmark in staff replies and signage. If a market changes again, label the new notice as a correction and include both the superseded and current venue.
Common questions
Can I announce the organizer's parking rules?
Link to or quote only verified current organizer information. Do not invent arrangements because you used a similar venue before.
Should I send this to harvest-only subscribers?
Select the market-update type when available. Send broader only if the message also changes the action those subscribers need to take.
Put this into practice
Let shoppers choose market appearances separately from harvest updates, then send the verified location change to that audience.
