APPLY HERE

We spend lots of staff and committee time each winter reviewing vendor applications, ensuring new and returning vendors meet our policies, and 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 vendor applications outside of our annual application period.

Stay up-to-date on applications and other market news by signing up for our weekly e-newsletter.

Winter Market vendors

We are not currently accepting new vendors for our winter markets. These markets have capacity for about half the vendors as our outdoor market. For this reason, we first open the applications to our current vendors and are currently at capacity.

Application FAQ’s

How much does it cost to vend at Mill City Farmers Market?

Booth prices vary by booth size, vendor type and other booth requirements (eg. electricity, parking, etc.) Please read our 2025 Vendor Handbook for the most accurate price descriptions.

Is there room for my business to vend at your market this Saturday?

The Mill City Farmers Market opens its applications for the outdoor market season from mid-December to mid-January each year. We do not accept vendors outside of this time frame, but we would love to learn more about your business if you email a completed New Vendor Interest Form (and Ingredient Sourcing Form if applicable) to info@millcityfarmersmarket.org.

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.
