VENDOR APPROVAL DETAILS
To stay true to our roots as a Farmers’ Market and maintain our status with the city, at least 51% of our vendors must be farmers and primary producers. We also avoid having vendors who resell non-local products and avoid accepting too many vendors selling the same items, so everyone has a fair chance to generate income. Long-time vendors are also given priority each season.
If there is a great fit, then new approved vendors can start any time of year based on daily rates.
Season: Indoor Season
Active Farmers: 17
Total Active Vendors: 34
During the winter we don't require 51% of the vendors to be farmers. However, vendors need to produce their own products or be sourced from another local producer. So feel free to apply for the indoor market.
