Current Vendor Frequently Asked Questions

When are applications accepted and when is the deadline?

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. They can be sent in electronically or sent to our P.O. Box. The application deadline for the opening day market is February 29th.

How are stall fees paid?

Stall fees can be paid on a weekly basis, or in 6-, 12-, and 24-week prepayments (full season). Please see schedule of stall fees in the Application Packet for discounts based on stall size. If stall fees are being paid on a weekly basis, vendors are expected to pay two week's worth of stall fees at the first market they attend and then pay one week in advance on an ongoing basis (in this case, vendors will not need to pay on the final market).

What is the market schedule and time?

The 2012 season stretches from May 9th to October 17th. From May 9th to August 29th, the market is held from 3:30 to 7:30. On September 5th, fall hours begin and the market is held from 3:00 to 7:00 due to the changing amount of daylight.

What is the vendor cancellation policy?

As stated in the market rules, vendors must notify the market by noon on the Monday of market week (that is 48 hours advance notice). If vendors fail to notify the market of their absence, they will forfeit their stall fee (which is paid one week in advance).

How does set up work?

Vendors can begin setting up anytime after 1 p.m. Vendors must have their vehicles off the lot one-half hour prior to opening bell (by 3:00 during regular hours, and 2:30 during fall hours). We ask that vendors please avoid parking on the sidewalk along SE 14th.

Where do vendors park their vehicles?

Vendors park on the grassy lot on the West side of SE 14th Ave where Clayborne St comes to a T. We ask that vendors not park in the lot directly across from Wilhelm's in order to reserve this limited parking for market-goers.

When is the Thanksgiving Market and how can I participate?

The Thanksgiving Market is held every year on the Tuesday prior to Thanksgiving. It is held at the Meyer Boys and Girls Club in Westmoreland/Sellwood. Beginning in October we accept applications for the Thanksgiving Market (please use the same application as used for the regular season).

Does your market accept non-food vendors (i.e. craft vendors)?

With few exceptions, we are a food-only farmers market. The current exceptions are cut flowers, seated massage, and garden-tool sharpening. We currently do not accept craft vendors.
