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.

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.
