2023 Holiday Market Application
The 2023 Holiday Market application will be out in late June/early July.
Thank you for your interest in joining our Holiday Market!! We are accepting all types of vendors!! Please fill out the form below to apply.
Last year over 300 people attended the holiday market each day! We are confident this year will be even better!!
This year our markets will be on November 26, December 3, and December 10. 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.
No applications will be accepted after October 12, 2022. If you would like to know if any space is available after this date, please contact us. If all spaces have been filled before this date, we will continue to accept vendor applications for the waiting list in the case of another vendor dropping out. All fees must be paid by October 12, 2022 or your space will forfeit to the next vendor on the waitlist.
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. Please do not send any payment until you have been accepted into the market.
