Farmers Market Vendor Application

Since the market is very popular, vendor space is extremely limited. We require that all vendors must have a sales tax number as well as collect and report sales tax. All consumable products must be approved and licensed through the State of Florida Agriculture or Business Regulations.

The following are some of our most important rules:

• Organic farms must attach a copy of certification. Only certified organic farmers can label produce “organic.”

(This includes your canopy, unless it is raining.)
