How our vendors work

Daily Vendors vs.
Seasonal Vendors

Did you know our market is run by our seasonal vendors AND that everything sold at our market is vendor produced? Our market consists of 28 seasonal vendors all who get a vote on how the market operates year to year, PLUS daily vendors who come bringing their goods and can change week to week. That means when you spend time and money at the market you are getting local items, seeing other locals, and keeping your money in the community.

A Daily Vendor

A Daily Vendor is a vendor who reaches out to our market manager any time during the market season to reserve a spot when there is an opening. There are a minimum of six spaces per week which they can fill, PLUS any space not being filled by one of our Seasonal Vendors each Saturday. This means they don’t always have the same spot from week to week (so make sure you walk the whole market to see who all is attending each week). By having dailies we allow a variety of vendors and goods to come to our market so each week can be someone/something new. Plus they don’t have to apply just at the beginning of the year but can at any time throughout the market season. Some vendors do not want to come every single week but maybe just once a month and this is great for them!

A Seasonal Vendor

A Seasonal Vendor is a vendor who has been voted into the market with seasonal status at some point during our markets history because what they offer is/was viewed as having great value to our market. Seasonal vendors keep the same space for the entirety of the market season and are granted voting power. The seasonal vendors are also who will take the positions of our Executive Committee consisting of a President, Market Manager, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary.
