I’m new to farmers markets. Can I still apply?

Yes! We welcome new vendors and are happy to help you understand permits, setup, and best practices.

Do I have to commit to every week?

Nope! Once your vendor application is approved, you will be sent a link to book the market day that works best for your schedule.

What if I’m not sure which category or permit I need?

Choose the category that feels closest and describe your products in the application. We’ll review and help you confirm the right category and permit path.

Can I participate in the Preorder Pickup Program without being a regular vendor?
