More than two months ago, as a means to encourage physical distancing, the weekly Well ’Canes Market—held on both the Coral Gables and medical campuses—were shut down. The markets were not only a great way for students and faculty and staff members to get out of the office and socialize with their colleagues while grabbing a delicious bite to eat, but also supported more than 40 small businesses in South Florida. With restaurants having to close their dining rooms for so long, now is the time to support some of your favorite market vendors. Luckily, there are many ways to still get some of the food that you relish. Hint: Many of your faves participate in the Green Market Co-Op’s Pinecrest drive thru farmers market on Sundays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
