Craft/value add waiting list
There is currently a waiting list for craft/value add vendors.
As a farmer’ market, we’re required to maintain a 51% to 49% producer to craft/value add ratio in our membership. Producers are vendors who grow some or all of the products they sell.
If you fall into the craft/value add category, please still apply and you will be added to our waiting list. We’ll also add you to our contact list for our monthly Sunday farmers’ and artisan markets.
Please note that value add food vendors are given priority over other craft vendors.
