The Melrose Farmers’ Market aims to include a balanced variety of food growers, producers, artisans, nonprofit organizations, local businesses, and educators that align with our mission. All vendors wishing to sell at the Melrose Farmers Market 2023 Season, must submit an online application along with other required documents, which may include proof of liability insurance and a Board of Health Certificate (select farmers’ market) for prepared food items, and workman’s comp form (even if you do not provide to your employees). We strive to maintain a ratio of 80:20 of food to nonfood items. Please make all vendors read our Market Rules 2023.
In addition to our farms and food vendors, each week we offer limited spaces for vendors offering 1 Personal Care Products (such as soap, salves, etc.), 1 Crafter or Artisan, 1 Local For-profit business, and 1 Non-profit (free of charge). We also invite local musicians to play at the market.
The cost is $40 per market. We encourage you to pay your fee in advance of your FIRST scheduled market date. If you pay in advance you’ll receive a $5 discount ($35 for per market). However, if you choose to pay monthly, you may make payments by the 1st of each month for that month’s vendor fee at $40/market.
Once your application is confirmed and you are admitted to the market, we will send you an invoice via PayPal which you can pay online or make a check out to Melrose Farmers’ Market and mail it to Melrose Farmers’ Market, c/o Melrose Chamber of Commerce, One West Foster St., Melrose, MA 02176.
