Join Our Events | Vendor Types

Producers in this category will be placed in the Non-Certified Agricultural Section of the farmers market if you grow the trees or cows that generate the processed product. Otherwise you will be considered a Retail Food Vendor (please check the Food Vendor section).

Producers are selected based on the uniqueness of your products.

Please upload the following documentation with your application.
• Milk plant permits (manufacturer’s, milk handlers, etc)

The following only applies to the Outer Sunset Farmers Market & Mercantile. At all other events you would fall under the Makers/Merchants/Artists & Organizations category.

Flowers can only be sold by an agricultural producer who grows the flowers with a valid CPC.

Producers with a CPC will be placed with other agricultural vendors. All products must be grown in California and listed on the grower’s CPC. Producers cannot sell their plants with a value added product (pots, holders, etc).

Plant vendors who do not grow their plants can join our mercantile section of the market. Vendors can only sell a value added product and include the plant as part of the sale. Vendors cannot sell the plants by itself. Value added products include decorated pots, macrame holders, artistic kits, etc.
