Why Support our Market?
Wondering if it's worth it to make a separate trip to shop at a Farmer's Market instead of just heading to the grocery store, well this is this is how our vendors responded when we asked them the question: "What are people missing out if they don't shop at local markets?" Beth from Circle Back Maple farm who is a certified organic said "Knowing where your food comes from and being assured of the quality." Nicole and Matt Boersma from Boersma Family Roots CSA and Farm, replied saying "(people are missing) A sense of community, the opportunity to know where your food is coming from, supporting my kids soccer season, FRESH day of picked produce not covered in chemicals, good people, and good food!"
WANT TO BE A VENDOR?Please read the 2020 Market Guidelines and print off and return the completed application
via email or snail mail. We are now able to accept both artisan crafters and food producers. We do welcome vendors for our full season (about 18 weeks) or just for the day. ALL vendors are required to complete an application prior to the market.
MARKET VENDORS ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE PRE-MARKET TRAINING TO REVIEW NEW PROCEDURES, DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR FOOD ACCESS PROGRAMS, REVIEW SITE LAYOUT, ETC
THIS YEAR'S PRE-MARKET TRAINING WILL BE CONDUCTED VIA MAIL. PLEASE CONTACT marketmanager@mainstreetcalumet.com TO RECEIVE TRAINING MATERIALS. |
TENT STRESSThe Main Street Calumet Farmers Market is proud to be able to supply vendors with tents for our weekly markets. We feel they improve the visual appeal of our event. However, they are surprisingly fragile and expensive. Normal wear and tear happens but to reduce breakage we appreciate all vendors being gentle with our equipment. This video from EZUp provides the best explanation of how to set up a tent with the least amount of stress, for you and the tent.
