We are no longer accepting applications for our 2012 markets, but please read the steps below for an overview of our application process and market requirements. Applications will be available in January 2013.
 FRESHFARM Markets creates and operates producer-only farmers markets. Participation in our markets is only for regional farmers/producers who sell what they grow, raise or produce on their own farm or facility. We prioritize producers who use local farm ingredients. All farmers and producers must be from the Chesapeake Bay watershed region (including the states of DE, MD, PA, WV, and VA, and within a 200-mile radius of Washington, DC). We do not allow arts, crafts or re-selling at our markets. If this is your first time applying to our markets, please call our office at 202-362-8889 for a brief interview before proceeding to the application. We will not review your application if we have not spoken with you first.  Please review our Rules and Regulations before you apply. When you submit your application you will be required to sign a legal agreement that states you have read and understand these rules and will adhere to them throughout the market season.  Current farmers/producers (those selling at our markets in 2011) will be invited to reapply to their current markets (markets sold at in 2011) starting November 1. You will receive an email with instructions and a private link to your application. The application deadline is November 30. Current farmers/producers (those selling at our markets in 2011) will be invited to apply to new markets (markets NOT sold at in 2011) starting January 1. You will receive an email with instructions. The application deadline is January 31. New farmers/producers (those who have never sold at a FRESHFARM Market) will be invited to apply to markets starting January 1. Please follow the instructions below. The application deadline is January 31. Our application is available online through ManageMyMarket.com. Please click the Begin My Application button below to go to the ManageMyMarket site. If you require a paper application, you can request one by contacting our office at 202-362-8889 or info@freshfarmmarkets.org. Applications will NOT be reviewed unless complete. If your application is not complete you will be notified that we are waiting for missing information. There are two steps to complete your online application. The first step is to complete the Common Vendor Application. Then, after you have done this, you can apply to any of our markets. A good overview of the process can be found here: http://managemymarket.com/training/Vendor_Application_Process.pdf. If you require assistance with your application at any time please contact us and we will be happy to help: 202-362-8889, or info@freshfarmmarkets.org.
