Vendor Selection

We do not require vendors to attend every Sunday - although we do give priority to those that attend the full season.

We accept vendors based on this product priority:

1. Returning Vendors who apply before February 27, 2025
2. Farmers - who grow fresh produce 
3. Nursery - those who grow plants and trees
4. Flowers - those selling floral arrangements 
5. Processed Foods 
6. Prepared Foods 
7. Crafters
8. Other those not fitting in another category but participation pre-approved by Market Manager

We place top priority on farm and food products. 

No Market Vendor has a guaranteed return right from season to season.
