FROM BLUFFTON ICON - The Bluffton Farmers Market has developed a novel way to open despite the Novel Coronavirus' affect on local businesses.
According to Greg Probst, market manager, "We plan to open the market as scheduled on Saturday, May 2."
However, it won't be business as usual. Probst is considering a drive through market where you place an order by phone and pick up packages at the curb.
Watch for developments on the Icon.
