VENDOR FAQ
1
What is Mountwood Market?
Mountwood Market is a local farmers and makers market at Mountwood Park, bringing together farmers, growers, bakers, food producers, artisans, makers, food trucks, and other local businesses.
Our regular market runs Saturdays throughout the season, and we also host special events and additional vendor opportunities along the way.
We’re focused on real local products and the people behind them — the things our vendors grow, raise, bake, prepare, design, make, and create.
Whether you’d like to join us for a special event or become a regular part of the Market, we’d love to hear what you have to offer.

Bring it to Mountwood Market.

What Can I Sell?
If you grow it, raise it, bake it, prepare it, design it, make it, or create it, there’s a good chance it belongs at Mountwood Market!
That can include locally grown and raised products, baked goods, prepared foods, specialty foods, handcrafted products, art, designed and created products, and more.
Mountwood Market is a producer-focused farmers and makers market, rather than a flea market or general resale market. Products purchased primarily for resale generally aren’t a fit.
Not sure about something you sell? Just ask us. We’re happy to take a look.

Can I Vend for Just One Market or Special Event?
You don’t have to become an annual member to participate. Our $20 (2026) Temporary Vendor Permit lets you join us for one regular market or special event.
If you’re planning to vend with us regularly, though, Annual Membership offers the best value, including the $5 Active Member Booth Rate and additional member benefits.
We also host special events throughout the season, giving you plenty of opportunities to be part of Mountwood Market.

What Do I Need to Bring?
Vendors should bring the items they need to create and operate their booth, such as a tent, tables, displays, signage, and any business-specific equipment or supplies.
Mountwood Park also offers amenities that make market day easier. Electricity is available for vendors who need it, public trash receptacles are available throughout the park, and restroom facilities are available on-site—including facilities that help food vendors meet requirements for approved product sampling.
Your tent, signs, and displays should be properly secured, and your business name and product prices should be clearly displayed.
Come ready to showcase your business, be fully set up by opening time, and enjoy the Market!

Do I Need a License or Permit?
Requirements depend on your business and what you sell.
Each vendor is responsible for any licenses, permits, certifications, tax requirements, food-safety requirements, or other legal requirements that apply to their business and products.
If you’re unsure what applies to your business, feel free to reach out with questions.
