Become a Vendor - Mill City Farmers Market

2025 Vendor applications closed

Our once-per-year application period for the May to October outdoor season closed on January 15th. We spend lots of staff and committee time each winter reviewing applications, ensuring new and returning vendors meet our Sustainability Statement, Local Sourcing Standard and other policies, while coordinating vendor schedules and site needs to create a well-rounded vendor assortment.

To respect the work that goes into this process, we do not accept applications outside our annual application period. Applications will open for the 2026 season from mid-December to mid-January. We are not able to accept new vendors for our winter markets due to limited space indoors.

More information about being a vendor at MCFM is available in our Vendor Handbook. If you’d like to get in touch, send us a New Vendor Interest Form (as well as an Ingredient Sourcing Form if applicable) to info@millcityfarmersmarket.org at any time so we can learn more about your business. You can stay up-to-date on vendor applications, farmer grants and other market news by signing up for our newsletter.

Winter Market vendors

We have room for about 40 vendors at our indoor markets from November through April (as opposed to 75+ at the outdoor summer market), so we offer these spaces to current vendors only. Thanks for your understanding!

Insurance

Q: MCFM is the only market or similar event I am applying to for the year. Buying an insurance policy would solely be for MCFM, and if I was not selected I would just have to cancel the policy. Can I delay providing proof of insurance until the vendor selections are made?

A: Yes, you may delay providing proof of insurance until you are admitted into the market.

Tabling

Q: I would like to table at MCFM for one Saturday representing a non-profit community group/small business. Where can I find more information?

A: MCFM occasionally has space for Community Booths at our outdoor markets to promote the work of other local non-profits and community organizations. To learn more about Community Booths, click here. Businesses may also be interested in supporting the market further by becoming a market partner.
