Due to our method of artisan vendor rotations, we do not accept artisan applications after the March deadline. Other vendor categories such as Ready to Eat, Value Added, Serve and Hemp vendors are limited to a set number of spaces for a season. If you are interested in applying for one of these categories, email the market manager to inquire about space availability.
If your application for the regular season is submitted after March 1st, please contact the market manager for a bypass link to the application.
It is free to submit an Informational or Agricultural Incubator application.
