- This week’s Reader is up online and waiting in grocery store racks across town to be picked up and taken home.

- The Farmers’ Market at Sandpoint may have postponed its opening, but vendors are still finding ways to get veggies, plant starts and other seasonal products to customers.

Also browse the vendor page to find ways to contact your favorite vendor directly to inquire about how to support them through the pandemic. Also, keep up-to-date on when the market may open by liking the market on Facebook: facebook.com/sandpointfarmersmarket.

While we have you ...
... if you appreciate that access to the news, opinion, humor, entertainment and cultural reporting in the Sandpoint Reader is freely available in our print newspaper as well as here on our website, we have a favor to ask. The Reader is locally owned and free of the large corporate, big-money influence that affects so much of the media today. We're supported entirely by our valued advertisers and readers. We're committed to continued free access to our paper and our website here with NO PAYWALL - period. But of course, it does cost money to produce the Reader. If you're a reader who appreciates the value of an independent, local news source, we hope you'll consider a voluntary contribution. You can help support the Reader for as little as $1.
