"I can honestly say that being a vendor at FRESH markets has changed my life. Being a seasonal vendor for the past two years has given me endless opportunities, but what I love most about it is the community of vendors/managers that quickly become your family. If you’re looking for a community of creatives who love what they do & love supporting others, FRESH markets is the place for you!"

"FRESH markets team provides a space which is truly community based! They curate some of the best makers for their events which are always organized and professionally managed. I must have referred over a dozen other vendors to them and I look forward to continue being a part of the community! "

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I register as a vendor?
We typically receive anywhere from a few dozen to 100+ applications per week that we personally review so please be patient if we do not respond immediately.
Why do we charge an application fee?
In fact, last year we received over 2500 applications.
We take the time to review each and every one individually, sometimes multiple times, to ensure that we're able to provide a high-quality experience for our attendees.
While we love being able to support so many amazing businesses and creators, it can be tough for our small team to keep up with the volume of applications we receive.
That's why we've introduced a nominal application fee - it helps us dedicate additional resources to the review process and also helps deter individuals who may not be serious about participating or who submit multiple applications.
Which payment methods do you take?
In addition to credit card payments, we also offer financing options for our seasonal plans through ACH payments.
This means that instead of paying for your seasonal plan upfront, you can make automatic payments over time using your bank account.
We hope this helps, and we look forward to working with you!
I'm selling food, do I need to do anything special?
What are your vendor guidelines?
We strongly encourage (i.e. require) anyone looking to sell with us to review them in detail.
I need to cancel my booking or change my date?
We encourage (i.e. require) all vendors to review it prior to selling with us and please be aware that we will enforce it.
What does it mean if my application is pending or was rejected for lack of space?
For things like candles, soaps, and jewelry there are a lot of makers looking to sell and not a lot of space.
If your application is still pending we haven’t reviewed it yet. Once it is reviewed, we will notify you via email and text message whether is was approved or rejected.
How do I know if I’m a good fit to vend?
Do others consider you a 'nice person'?
If so, chances are that we'd love to work with you.
What happens if it rains?
You should be prepared for possible rain showers during market hours. We recommend having a backup plan to safeguard your products.
Are you dog/kid/reptile friendly?
If you're unsure, it always helps to DM us on Facebook or Instagram and ask.
The market I want to sell at is sold out - now what?
Once a market is sold-out we maintain a waitlist in case of cancellations. We then carefully select from that list to fill in the missing categories. We usually have a few cancellations but not many so please keep this in mind.
Do I need a tent? How big is my space? Should I bring a table?
If your setup requires additional space please contact [email protected] to discuss your options.
