Matthews Community Farmers' Market

At MCFM, we love our four-legged friends but for the safety and comfort of all our guests, we kindly ask that you leave pets at home when visiting the market.

 

Our market is a bustling, high-traffic environment filled with people, fresh food, and busy vendors. Even the friendliest dogs can become overstimulated in this setting, which may cause stress for both the animal and our guests, including young children, seniors, and those with limited mobility. Additionally, health and sanitation regulations discourage animals near food products.

 

Service animals are always welcome at the market, provided they are under control of their handler at all times.

 

In accordance with state and federal law, only service animals as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) are permitted. These animals are individually trained to perform specific tasks for individuals with disabilities. Please note that emotional support animals, therapy animals, and companion animals do not qualify as service animals under the ADA. Click here for more information about service animals.

 

We appreciate your understanding and support in helping us maintain a safe, welcoming, and clean environment for everyone.
