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.

You must arrive no later than 8:30AM, set-up your tent, table and products and be ready to sell by 9:00AM 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.

Every Friday afternoon, EatLoco mgmt. sends out a new market layout identifying your spot assignment for that weekend. If you are a weekly vendor, you will be placed (generally) in the same spot each week. Drop-In vendors are placed around the weekly vendors and are subject to change each week. Please refer to the new market layout for your spot every Friday as the old layouts are no longer valid.

At the market, it is important you have at least one 10’x10’ tent with tent weights. 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 be 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.
