what are the requirements for products a vendor can sell?
We prioritize vendor applicants who make their products or source their materials locally and/or ethically. We feel strongly that whatever a vendor chooses to sell should not culturally belong to historically marginalized groups unless the vendor identifies with these groups.
How are vendors scheduled? are they required to sign up for every market day?
Vendors are scheduled a month in advance for all of their Market Days with the intention of providing more equitable access to the market. After the initial round of scheduling, folks may sign up for Market Days on a first-come, first-serve basis. Farm and Food vendors are encouraged to vend at every Market Day and will be given priority in scheduling. Artist and Maker vendors are guaranteed a space at two Sunday Markets per month and are often able to vend more frequently.
IS BUSINESS INSURANCE REQUIRED?
Farm, Food, Cosmetic, CBD, Herbal, Health & Wellness, etc. vendors must have current Business Liability Insurance with the Whiteaker Community Market listed as an Additional Insured to vend at the Sunday Market.
WHEN SHOULD I APPLY?
The 2024 WCM Vendor Application will be open all season and new applications will be reviewed every month. Vendors interested in vending on Opening Day must submit their application before March 25th to be a part of our initial review process.
