The very first step for all potential vendors is to fill out the above application with information as it pertains to your business. This will give us a better idea if you are a good fit for us, and we for you. Select all the markets in which you would like to participate and choose the dates you would like to attend. Lastly, read the Vendor Handbook inside Manage My Market carefully, as it defines our policies thoroughly.

If you are a farmer, a food producer, or sell any type of prepared food (in a kitchen or at the market), please be sure to have all your necessary certificates, licenses and permits ahead of time with either the department of Health or VDAC.

OPEN YEAR-ROUND

You must arrive no later than 8:00AM, set-up your tent, table and products and be ready to sell by 8:45AM sharp at either of our markets. Vendors that arrive late and are not prepared on time may be asked to leave and/or be subject to a fine. We enforce this policy for the safety of the customers as well as out of fairness to the vendors who do show up on time. So please be prompt.

Generally, our markets operate rain or shine. However, if local government chooses to close our roads in the case of a hurricane, tornado watch, severe storm, or other extreme weather conditions, we will close the market as well. The Market Manager on duty can also make that call to close the market due to these extreme conditions.

Due to the size of our One Loudoun market, our Season-pass holders will typically be assigned the same spot each week, though may be shifted slightly as our market grows. It is not possible for us to give Drop-in vendors the same spot each week they drop-in. To push the market-layout out to all vendors each week, we publish the new layout to the same link each week: www.eatloco.org/ol-layout. ALL vendors must check this link Every Saturday Morning to see which spot they have been assigned for that Saturday. Corresponding space numbers are sprayed painted on the road for easy viewing.

At the market, It is required that you have tent at least 25 lbs (preferred 50 lbs) weights on each leg of your tent. You will be fined $25 each time your show up at the market without your weights, and may be asked to leave the market. These are available at your local home improvement store as well as online retailers like Amazon. In addition to your product, you should also bring a method to accept payment (cash box, square, etc) as well as signage to identify your business. We encourage you to bring tablecloths, sandwich board signs, retractable banners, or any other decorations you may want to make your space noticeable and welcoming to your customers.

Our farmers markets are known for their friendly and inviting atmosphere, so our #1 suggestion is to b and look approachable. Sitting behind your table, looking down at your phone, reading your book and waiting for your product to sell itself, will most likely not produce the results you are looking for. Anyone walking right in front of your tent is a potential customer. Stand proudly, believe in your product and greet each customer as they walk by as if they are your next $100 sale.

Unfortunately, you cannot change your own dates inside Manage My Market. To add, change or cancel dates, please submit your changes using the Vendor Feedback Form. Again, no direct emails or text messages please.
