Info for new & returning vendors
Greetings Community Market Vendors!
We are looking forward to the start of the 26th year of the Flagstaff Community Market! With your hard work, the Community Market has grown to be one of the top markets in the State of Arizona. Thank you ALL for the hard work and dedication you bring to the Market and the local foods movement. We are currently full for full season vendors but please submit application to be considered for available weeks, wait list and on-call.
Returning vendor applications must be received by March 1, to ensure a space for the season. Only full season reserved vendors are given first right of refusal for the following year's full season spots.
Until returning vendors send in their applications, the market has a waiting list for new prepared food, value added vendors and artisans. We will do our best to let new vendors know by April 1, if we have available space and for what weeks. Growers/Primary Producers are always given priority in regards to space availability and reserved spaces. We always will make room for growers although location and number of spaces available will be determined by managers. Please note the market is not accepting any new prepared food vendors unless a documented and substantial amount of their products are made with local produce, meats and ingredients. We have a waiting list for specific items including, but not limited to, salsa, tamales, tacos and burritos, non-gluten free breads, jewelry and wood working artisans. A limited number of grandfathered artists come in for the full season, while all other artists are rotated in depending on space availability. All new artists, processed and prepared food vendors are on a wait list until confirmed for specific dates. The Community Market will always do our very best to make room for new growers although space and location may be limited. We are a mission driven agricultural market of producers- no promotional items for non-agricultural items permitted!
Check out the Flagstaff Urban Flea Market for other vending opportunities if the Sunday market is full or the items you sell don't fit the mission of the Community Farmers Market.
A few other important reminders:
1) All processed, prepared food vendors and artists must have a state of Arizona TPT license. Contact Arizona Department of Revenue with questions at www.aztaxes.gov or 800-352-4090.
2) ALL value added vendors MUST have commercial insurance and list Flagstaff Community Markets, LLC as an additional insured.
3) All nest egg vendors must label/register according to Arizona Department of Agriculture requirements. Please visit http://www.azda.gov/licensing/Nest%20run%20egg%20-%20info%20sheet%20.pdf for info.
4) ANY vendor who prepares food on site, has temperature controlled food, open handles food, or samples MUST have a Special Event license from the Coconino County Health Department. Apply on line at https://coconino.az.gov/3206/Special-Events or call Coconino County Health and Human Services at (928) 679-8750.
5) If you're wondering if you can accept EBT or WIC please visit azdhs.gov/prevention/azwic/farmers-markets/index.php for more info.
6) We do not have any source of power at our markets. Use of generators is limited and must be a quiet power source
This year, we are asking vendors to submit registration fees via Venmo. Our Venmo is @flagstaff-market.
We will do our best to let you know the status of your application but please be patient as we process hundreds of applications!
Thanks & we look forward to another great year!
