Friday Market
Every Friday, 6p – 9p, rain or shine. The fee for the Market is $15 for farmers (growers of edible produce, raisers of livestock), $20 for all other categories + $3 for electricity (electricity is optional and not guaranteed). Once assigned to a particular Market, fees should be pre-paid using VENMO, Zelle, or in Nest to secure the spot. Fees paid in Nest must be exact change and are subject to a surcharge of $5. Please understand that we are a rain-or-shine Market, rain is not an excused absence, you must notify market management in advance if you do not plan to set up.
Space Sizes
All spaces are based on an approximate 10 by 10-foot allocation. Vendors requiring more than 10 feet of frontage will be charged for more than one space. We cannot guarantee any spaces, indoors or out, with electricity or without. Please be prepared to work with what you are assigned to.
Notification for Missed Market Dates
If a vendor is not able to attend a market, the vendor must amend their application (directions in approval email) before the end of business the Tuesday prior to the Friday market date (this includes vendors placed as well as vendors on the waiting list - if you chose the date you are responsible for the date). Late cancellations will still be required to pay for the spot.
As the vendor you chose your own dates, so choose wisely. You will be allowed 1 cancelation per season, any more and you will not be allowed back that season. If assigned a space and do not pre-pay or communicate your absence, this is considered a no-show and you will not be invited back.
