Alexander Farm Market & Greenhouses — Local services in Northfield Township

While the prices are good and the selection is reasonable, I was concerned with the staffs lack of care in the current circumstances. No staff wore masks and approached or passed by at very close distances speaking in loud voices without masks. I realize we were outdoors. But, 99% of their customers were wearing masks.
