Matthews Community Farmers' Market
No Pets Policy
Properly Trained Service Animals Permitted*
We all love our four legged friends, but we kindly ask that you leave them safely at home when you attend MCFM.
Our Farmers' Market is very crowded with customers and products and we want our two legged and four legged visitors to have a safe clean and enjoyable experience. Not everyone is an animal lover or feels comfortable around animals. An over-excited dog could scare folks, young or old, who are unsteady on their feet and there are sanitation concerns when dogs are in close proximity to any food being sold.
Service animals, which are under the control of the handler at all times, are welcome at the Farmers' Market.
In accordance with state and federal laws, we permit service animals. Service animals are not considered pets, but are trained to perform a specific task to assist the disabled person. Under the American with Disabilities Act, service animals do not include therapy dogs, emotional support dogs or companion dogs. Click here for more information.
Thank you for your understanding!
