Want to become a vendor?
The New Buffalo Farmers Market runs every Thursday from May 27 – September 2 from 4pm – 8pm EST. If you are interested in any week, please check out the Market Schedule to get more information on each market and submit a vendor application.
Here is some basic information you should be aware of when looking to apply to become a vendor at one of our markets:
All of our vendors must be within 65 miles of The City of New Buffalo.
Membership shall be restricted to vendors who are producers, artisans, and prepared food producers, as defined below:
- Producers: any person who sells food or products made from their farm, property or/and greenhouse as a verified business of the State of Michigan/Indiana/Illinois
- Prepared Foods: any person who sells food that is prepared either at their home, place of business or at the Farmers’ Market location.
- Artisans: any person who produces a product through skillful means that may be considered art, craft or hobby.
Local Service Businesses can attend the market, provided they are not selling any products or items.
Community Groups are available to attend the market, provided they are not selling products or items. They must be ‘not for profit’. If they want to sell items in their booth, they will be charged the occasional vendor fees, provided the proposed items for sale do not compete with Market Vendors.
