Community Table Procedures

  • The Community Table offers community members a low-risk and cost-effective way to try
    selling at the market.
  • This is also an opportunity for vendors to sell quantities that would not
    justify a full booth. It’s a good place to learn marketing techniques and get a feel for selling at a farmers market. The community table booth fee is 10% of total sales.
  • Crafts, arts and most other inedible goods are not permitted at the community table. 
  • Participants should arrive at the market and check in at the info booth (green tent) at least
    20 minutes before the start of market. Arriving after the market opens is strongly
    discouraged unless prior arrangements were made. Once the market starts, staff must turn
    attention their to customers 
  • We will provide up to two tables for community table vendors and participation will
    be capped at 4 vendors. We can also provide a 10x10 canopy most weeks
  • Community table space should not exceed the 10’x10’ space allotted, unless verbal
    confirmation is given by the market manager.
  • Participants should be prepared to assist in setting up and taking down the CT tent,
    tables and weights with the market staff.
  • Vehicles are not allowed in front of the market area 15 minutes prior to opening, 10 minutes
    after closing or at anytime during market hours 
  • Once participants sell out or are finished selling for the day, visit the info booth to report sales and pay the booth fee (10% of total sales)
  • Participants must comply with regular market guidelines- Vendor Packets are available
    online https://stevensonfarmersmarket.com/vendors
  • Community table vendors are responsible for knowing state and local rules, regulations and currency guidelines pertaining to the goods being sold. Ask market staff if you have questions.
  • Participants should be well-­‐prepared with signs, prices, cashbox/ change etc.

We understand that this may be your first time selling at a market. Please contact us with questions.

Memorandum of Understanding 

The Stevenson Farmers’ Market is a voluntary association of independent producers which sells vegetables, fruits, herbs, flowers, jams, jellies, honey and certain other related items to the public on a site that is available with the permission of the site owner.

The Market is a “producer-only” market. Resale of farm or garden products is only permitted with prior approval by the Market managers. Commercial, imported, or second-hand items are not allowed. Franchises are not allowed.

Each participant is an independent business and is responsible for complying with all local, state, and federal laws and with other requirements related to their business and the products that they offer for sale at the Market. These laws and requirements include but are not limited to requirements related to taxes, food safety, and public safety.

Each seller is responsible for keeping clean both their space and the market area in general.

The market operates under the guidance of a manager or co-managers who are hired and paid or elected by participants at a meeting of the Market steering committee. The manager(s) may delegate manager responsibilities to other participants.

Because of the limited space available, the manager(s) will assign spaces to permanent participants and will decide if temporary vendors are allowed to sell at the Market.

The manager(s) or a representative may monitor ethical practices at the Market.

Participants agree to hold harmless the Stevenson Farmers Market, its agents, other participants, and the property owner from any claims made by any person or organization related to food quality, compliance with laws and regulations, public safety, public health, or any other matter.

Protection related to product liability is the sole responsibility of each participant.
