We are excited to have this market participate in an economic impact study led by the Michigan Farmers Market Association this season. Some questions have been added to this application to help us fill in our data entry workbook with some basic information about your business. These questions have been marked with an *. This information will be available to our market leadership, the Michigan Farmers Market Association and economic impact advisory committee members. The information will not be shared publicly and when reports are generated will only be available as an aggregate form. After each market, you will complete a Vendor Sales Record asking you about your sales so that we are able to estimate the total economic contribution of our farmers market. Thanks for supporting our market and contributing to this great cause!

Your vendor fee covers one 10 ft by 10 ft space. You will be charged another vendor fee for each additional 10 ft of frontage you request with a maximum of 40 ft allowed per vendor. Prices below are per market. It is preferred that each vendor occupy as few spaces as possible so that a maximum number of vendors can participate and offer the greatest diversity of product to customers.

Electricity is available to a limited number of vendor spaces within the market and is NOT available for food trucks. In order to access electricity during the market, you must request electricity on this application, pay the associated fees, and be limited to those spaces where electricity is available. The additional cost is based on the Legislative Council Facilities Agency’s rate. Electrical hookups cannot be provided on the day of the market unless they were requested on this application. Generators are allowed in any spaces, including for food trucks, as long as the noise level does not interfere with the ability of the vendors near you to conduct sales with customers, as determined solely by MIFMA staff.
