About the Market
We are located at the 703 E. Broad Street parking lot with the regular Market Season running from the first Saturday in May to the third Saturday in November, each Saturday 8a-12p. Vendors can choose to attend weekly, every other week, monthly, or special events only. We are an “hand-produced” market, requiring 85% or more of your products to be produced by you!
Due to the “producer” nature of the Market, with respect, we do not allow franchise/distributor/consultant-based businesses, political, or religious organizations.
We have various vendor types to help us organize and advertise things at the Market, review our types below to see where you best fit.
Applications are taken January-October and all vendors must apply annually; a waitlist may be formed as we reach capacity for specific vendor offerings (example: meat vendors are currently limited to 2 vendors to avoid too much competition). The application process is simple:
- Fill out the quick overview application
- We will review and respond with an email on status/acceptance, an “On-Boarding Checklist”, and a payment link (if accepted)
- Provide the On-boarding fee via the payment link and the documentation requested. Failure to provide requested documentation may result in delays or loss of vendor placement.
- Complete orientation
- Receive your Market spot location and start attending the Market!!
