Our vendor application process focuses on curating a high-quality experience for attendees and vendors. Each year, we receive a significant number of applications—before we introduced the application fee, we often received more than 5,000 submissions per year. With the fee in place, submissions have become more manageable, allowing us to give each application the attention it deserves.

Our dedicated team carefully evaluates every application individually, often conducting multiple reviews per submission. Due to the volume of applications and the thoroughness of our review process, we've implemented a nominal application fee. This fee supports our team's efforts, helps streamline the process, and ensures applicants are committed to participating.


We welcome vendors who offer exceptional, high-quality products and consider themselves producers or makers. If you're passionate about your craft and take pride in creating something unique, you're likely a great fit for FRESH Markets.

Just as importantly, we look for vendors who bring positivity and friendliness to our markets, contributing to the welcoming atmosphere our community appreciates.

If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you! Submit your application, and we'll be excited to review your products and get to know more about you.

Our markets frequently fill up quickly due to high demand. We strongly recommend applying early and promptly booking your space once your application is approved.

If a market you're interested in is sold out, we encourage you to join our waitlist. When cancellations occur, we carefully review the waitlist and select vendors based on market needs and product variety. Please keep in mind that while cancellations do happen, spaces remain limited.

To join the waitlist, drop us an email, and we'll reach out directly if a spot becomes available for your business.

We appreciate your patience and enthusiasm for participating in our markets!
