Farmers Market

Wednesdays 4-7pm (June-September) @ Denny Park, Bradford, VT. The Space is only as valuable as the opportunities that it provides to the surrounding community.

Vendor Information

We are so excited that you are interested in vending at our 2023 Farmers Market! Our markets will be held every Wednesday evening 4:00-7:00pm of the months June through September. Our markets are located in Denny Park (9 N Main St, Bradford, VT). Our market features only vendors who sell agricultural products, prepared foods, or crafts. All products for sale at the market must be made/grown and sold by the vendors themselves or their employees.

We first add vendors who will help us maintain our desired vendor ratio of 35% agricultural, 25% prepared foods, and 40% crafts. We will likely receive more applications than we can accept. Those who are turned down due to insufficient space will be kept on our mailing list.

We reserve 15 spaces for all or part of the summer season. We will keep one space reserved for local nonprofits and municipal organizations.

It is the vendor’s responsibility to make certain they have the proper license(s)/permit(s) for the type of product they sell according to the VT State Regulations for Vendors at Farmers’ Markets. All vendors must follow food safety standards for food preparation and vending at the market.

Refunds will not be issued on processed payments unless we cancel the market(s) or if you are not chosen to participate. Payments must be made online with a completed application. Offline payments will not be accepted.

NOTE: A sepate application will be made available for local nonprofits and municipal organizations to reserve our one rotating spot.
