Last year was our largest turn out yet, and we're confident that this year will be even bigger!!
This year our markets will be on November 30 and December 7. The hours will be 9 am to 2 pm.
The cost to attend our market is $25 per space per day. You can apply for up to 2 spaces and for however many days you would like to attend. Each space will be 10 feet x 8 feet. Please note you will be inside a greenhouse, so no tents will be needed. If you need any special accommodations please contact us BEFORE applying to ensure we can accommodate you.
Once we have filled all available spaces, we will continue to accept vendor applications for the waiting list in the event of another vendor dropping out. All fees must be paid by September 30, 2024 or your space will forfeit to the next vendor on the waitlist.
You will receive an email acknowledgement once you apply. If you do not receive this acknowledgment please check your spam folder. Acceptance/rejection emails will be sent on August 25.
Once you are accepted, we will send you an email containing your acceptance letter as well as a link to pay for your spot(s). You will be able to pay with a card through a custom payment link sent through Square. You can also mail a payment. If you wish to make a payment in person, you can find us at multiple farmers markets (please see our farmer's market page for details) or you can schedule a time to come to the farm.
