How can I become a vendor?

What differentiates you from other markets?

  • We are a community-based, vendor-run market that puts people first. Our leadership team, including the director, are also vendors, which means every decision we make is rooted in understanding and addressing both the needs of our vendors and the market’s success. We’re not just about selling products—we’re about building a thriving community.

  • We place a strong emphasis on food education, offering resources and workshops on healthy eating, meal preparation on a budget, and sustainable living. Our goal is to empower our community with the tools and knowledge to make healthier lifestyle choices without breaking the bank.

  • Beyond being a marketplace, we serve as a hub for connecting local growers, artisans, and consumers, fostering relationships that strengthen our community's well-being. Our diverse offerings and inclusive atmosphere set us apart, creating an environment where everyone—from local residents to small business owners—can thrive together.

Do all your vendors accept the same payment methods?

  • Not all vendors accept the same payment methods. We encourage vendors to offer multiple forms of payment, including debit and credit cards. All eligible vendors, however, accept EBT (SNAP Benefits), and OTC Healthy Food Benefits, and through our partnership with Wholesome Wave, we double the dollars on all fresh produce purchases.

Is your market pet-friendly?

  • Yes! Well-behaved pets on leashes are welcome at all our markets. Please make sure to clean up after your pet to keep the market enjoyable for everyone.

What kind of products do your vendors offer?

  • Our markets showcase a diverse selection of locally sourced products, including fresh produce, baked goods, handcrafted skincare items, unique artisan crafts, and more. We proudly support small, local businesses that reflect the vibrant culture of our community.

Are there any special events at the market?

  • Absolutely! Throughout the year, we host special events such as live music performances, cooking demonstrations, and holiday-themed markets. Visit our Events page to stay updated on upcoming activities and celebrations.

How can I volunteer?

  • Want to get involved? We’re always looking for volunteers to help with market operations and special events. Head over to our Volunteer page for more information and to sign up.

What safety measures are in place?

  • We prioritize your safety and adhere to all local health guidelines. Hand sanitizing stations are available throughout the market, and we encourage social distancing where appropriate to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all.
