While we would love to chat with all prospective vendors individually, the high volume of applications we receive and our regular workload does not always allow for this. Please read all policies and procedures before applying.
Steps to Become a Vendor
Thank you for your interest in becoming a vendor at one of our markets. We are a producer-only market which means that you must grow, raise, or make all items that you sell at the market. We prioritize local farmers and agricultural products. As a nonprofit organization with a mission to support small family farmers, we are proud to provide a vibrant place for farmers and food artisans to directly connect with consumers.
Based on the information provided in your application, we will review and determine if your farm or business is a potential fit for one of our market days and locations. If we determine that you are a good candidate for inclusion but no space is available, we may place you on a waitlist and review your application again if/when a space does become available.Â
While we would love to speak with all prospective vendors individually, the high volume of applications we receive and our regular workload does not always allow for this. Please be sure to thoroughly read our guidelines and visit the market before applying.

It is important to visit both Red Stick Farmers Market and Main Street Market before submitting an application. This allows prospective vendors to see the space and determine if you would be interested in setting up at our markets.
Complete the online application and submit the $25 non refundable application fee. Include relevant photos of your product and market set up.
BREADA staff will determine if your product meets our basic eligibility criteria. If we determine that you are a good candidate for inclusion but no space is available, we may place you on a waitlist and review your application again if/when a space does become available.
In order to maintain a high level of integrity at our markets, all prospective sellers must receive a site visit from BREADA staff. This ensures that all products are being grown or produced by the seller. We do not allow resale. BREADA Staff will schedule a time to visit your farm or facility where your products are produced.
Product samples must be provided prior to acceptance. These may be provided during the site visit.
Following the site visit, we will determine if you are a candidate for Red Stick Farmers Market (outdoor pop-up market) or Main Street Market (indoor marketplace). All new vendors at Red Stick Farmers Market must be approved by the Farmers Market Advisory Council which is composed of current representatives elected by their peers to represent a cross-section of market categories.
BREADA staff will notify the applicant of the status of the application. If accepted, we will inform you which markets you are approved to attend.Â
BREADA staff will send the new vendor onboarding packet which includes all relevant information for selling at our markets.
New vendors are not permitted to begin until staff provides a start date.
