Membership
Season Membership entitles one to vote at the annual meeting on issues affecting the market.
There are three different options for a person to vend at the market:
Full (or Partial) Season Vendor
$40 season membership and $110 Season Space
Co-op Vendor
Vendors may share the $110 site fee, however each vendor must still pay the $40 membership fee. This is intended for the vendor who desires the weekly sales outlet, without attending every market. Co-op vendors share a tent space with a few other producers and negotiate the responsibilities of their shared tent and goods. We encourage farmers and producers to organize their own groups of 2 to 4 vendors per co-op. We are glad to help network with you to find members.
DAY VENDOR
$40 membership, $12 for each Saturday
This is intended for the vendor who cannot commit to the entire market season, but wishes to vend for more than one saturday.
Trial Vendor
$15
The one day option is intended to provide a space for creative entrepreneurship. This allows for a community person to test a new product, share info or a service, or sell a surplus of an agricultural product. Two week’s notification and approval by the market coordinators is required.
