Interested in becoming a Vendor at the Market?
1. Check that you make, bake, grow or provide the service yourself.after a hiatus? To sell at the Market, here’s what you have to do:
We are proud to be a community-based organic farmers market for local farmers, crafters, food
vendors, and service providers. First priority is given to vendors who produce with a sustainable and organic focus. For farms, this is a requirement. We do not allow wholesale, manufactured or imported goods.
2. Download and read the Market Policy Manual, cover to cover.
The Policy Manual outlines the specific policies for the individual Vendor Groups, and provides an overview of what the Market is all about. It is important that you are familiar with the Policy Manual and meet the requirements for vending before you contact the relevant Review Committee. Moss Street Market 2013 Policy Manual

The Review Committees are made up of volunteers who are vendors themselves. Each Review Committee has it’s own model of review.

(If you would prefer downloadable version of the form, it can be found here).
