“Our local producers and farmers market team were able to quickly pivot in the wake of COVID-19. The overwhelming response to curbside pick-up has prompted us to invest in a new Farmers Market Headquarters that will enable us to continue this service alongside the careful reopening of the market to the public,” said Pearl’s Chief Marketing Officer Elizabeth Fauerso in a statement. “We are excited to continue to support our local producers and community with this new endeavor.”
