Virginia Rinella buys watermelons from Richard Bochantin at the Humpday Farmers Market on Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2020, in Carbondale, ILL. “This is my first experience [here] and I like it” Rinella said. Bochantin has been selling his products at the farmers market for about 4 years. Bochantin said that after COVID-19 started, the city shut down the farmers markets on city property, so they decided to move to a new location, the parking lot of Gold’s Gym in Carbondale, ILL. Bochantin said that since moving to the new location they have seen more people stop by.
