Regarding COVID-19 PANDEMIC
As the situation surround this global pandemic continues to evolve, so do the safeguards we have in place to protect staff and customers. Please note that effective immediately, Eastern Farmers has implemented the following changes/precautions which shall remain in place until further notice:
OPEN 9:00AM until 5:00PM MONDAY TO FRIDAY
DO NOT EXIT YOUR VEHICLE IN THE DRIVE-THRU
and DO NOT WALK INTO THE WAREHOUSE OR DRIVE-THRU AREAS.
- we are open as DRIVE-THRU (9 AM - 5 PM) and In-Store ( 9 AM - 5 PM) Effective: May 20th, 2021.
- If you would like us to collect items in the store on your behalf, we can certainly do so. Please call ahead so we can have your items ready for you.
- We ask that any customers who are experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms to call orders in and have them picked up by a friend, family member, or other means to avoid coming to the store.
- Staff who can do so have been asked to stay home or to work remotely if possible; therefore we are functioning on BAREBONES staff. Please be PATIENT.

Eastern Farmers is taking the health, safety, and mental well-being of our staff (who have been deemed ESSENTIAL PERSONNEL) very seriously. Any customer's who do not follow the rules put in place to keep EVERYONE safe will be asked to leave the property immedaitely.
This is an extremely stressful time during which to be a worker, especially in high-traffic stores such as ours, or drug stores and grocery stores. Please be respectful of our ESSENTIAL PERSONNEL!
People who choose to disregard the orders put in place by the Public Health Emergency will be asked to leave and may even be reported if the perceived risk is high enough.
To those who are exercising caution and respectful interaction: THANK YOU!!
How YOU can help!

EFFECTIVE: Ocotber 18th, 2022
In accordance with public health guidelines, the inside shopping area of the store remains open. While masks are no longer mandatory in our drive-thru and in store shopping areas they're still encouraged to keep yourself and our staff safe!
Please do not panic buy. We are not experiencing supply issues on the majority of products. Panic buying will put a strain on our stocks.
This change not only protects the staff but the customers that shop here as well.
Attached are some key points to help you shop effectively and efficiently during these trying times:
1.) Call ahead and have any items in store either paid for or put aside for you.
2.) Please expect delays when calling the store and service in the drive thru
Our customers are important to us and we are doing the best we can during these trying times.
