1)
All
agricultural products should be locally grown, all crafts should be hand made:
no resale items or imports. Farmers’ markets are an opportunity to
“meet the producer”, and therefore we do not allow
“agents” (someone other than the producer).
2)
It is
permissible to have a “stand-in” person a total of 2 times. The
vendor must produce at least 90% of products offered. Any exceptions to either
of the above, requires prior arrangement with the Market Manager.
3)
A
vendor’s space consists of a 10’ booth. Double booths pay double
fees. We will be assigning permanent spaces to our regular vendors this year.
This is a privilege that is given to those vendors who support the market
throughout the season; without their support this market would not be the
success it is. Be sure you know
where to set up before you begin; if you are in someone’s assigned space
you will be asked to move. Any reserved space still open at 3:00 (market
opening time) is available for use by another vendor.
4)
The fee is $5
per day. These fees help to pay our insurance, advertising and other expenses.
The fee is to be paid to the Market Manager upon request.
5)
Vendors are
responsible to bring their own tables and shade. Picnic tables are reserved for
customers and other park users. Please pack out your own garbage.
6)
No dumping is
allowed at this market. (Selling a product at a considerably lower price than
the fair market price.) Do not give away free food to potential shoppers if you
leave the market early. Leftover produce may be brought to the Tonasket Food
Bank. Giving out free samples is permissible. No sales allowed before market
opens (3:00).
7)
The Washington
State Food Safety Code requires that all processed food products be produced in
a certified kitchen. The CCC has a certified commercial kitchen avail for rent.
Market vendors may receive the special membership rate of $5 per hour. (Check
with River in CCC Office for details.)
8)
After
unloading, move your vehicle so that customers may find convenient parking.
This is a very important consideration, as we need the customers to be able to
shop and carry their purchases to their cars easily. When market is over for
the day, you can easily drive your vehicle back to the edge of the park to
reload your gear and unsold goods.
9)
The
Farmer’s Market does not accept WIC coupons at this time, so please do
not accept them, as we cannot reimburse you. We will work to change this for
next year.
10) Treat others with respect. Anyone not abiding by this
request will be asked to leave the market.
11) There is a grievance procedure in place. Any grievances must
be submitted in writing, to Matt Welles or River Jones, CCC Executive Director.
Have
a fun and prosperous Market Season!
