2024 Vendor Application

Dear Farmer, Grower or Producer:
Thank you for your interest in the Field Fresh Farmers Market (FFFM).  

Who Qualifies?  The Field Fresh Farmers Market strives to be a regional, producer only market with emphasis on agricultural products.  Along with this goal, is the aim to meet the needs and expectations of our customers with the appropriate mix of agriculture, valued-added, crafts and prepared food vendors. Field Fresh Farmers Market only accepts vendors who grow, raise or produce the products they are selling.  There may be occasional exceptions to the Producer Only Rule to provide a more complete shopping experience for the consumer.  In addition to constraints and compliances required by regulatory agencies that oversee the growing, raising, processing and preserving of their products, vendors will also abide by the Market’s own Producer Only definitions and guidelines.

Acceptance: FFFM is not required to accept the application of a vendor even if he or she qualifies.  Nor is FFFM required to justify its decision, which is based on a variety of factors, including space available, balance of vendors, range of products and experience of the vendor.

Our Market and Community: FFFM provides a venue for farmers and other vendors to bring fresh, nutritious, high-quality food grown or produced in the region.  Frederick is an affluent and socially diverse town with more than 70,000 residents, 14,608 households are within a 7 mile radius of the market. FFFM creates a friendly central setting where vendors develop strong relationships with residents who desire more local, sustainably produced foods directly from the grower, and the opportunity to purchase hand crafted items directly from the artisan, enjoy locally produced spirits, and enjoy fresh prepared food while visiting the market.

Operations:  We operate from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. every Saturday from the last Saturday in April through the Saturday before Thanksgiving.
