BECOME A VENDOR

Thank you for your interest in becoming a vendor with the Historic Manassas Farmers Market!

The Historic Manassas Farmers Market is a community-focused farmers market, proudly serving as a small business incubator for the many wonderful farms, nurseries, bakeries, specialty food producers, crafters, and artisans our area has to offer.

Important factors in the selection process for vendors include product quality, growing practices, presentation, product uniqueness, locality, and the right product mix to ensure a successful and well-rounded farmers market experience.

To apply to become a vendor at the Historic Manassas Farmers Market, the process is as follows:


Step 1: SEE IF YOU QUALIFY

The Market is open to all types of farmers, ranchers, meat, and other food producers. We also accept applications from various vendor types, including artists, artisans, value-added vendors, pet food vendors, and certain health and wellness vendors.

NOTE: Please note that our Thursday Market is strictly producer-only, meaning vendors must grow, raise, or make all products sold at the Market from scratch.

All vendors at the Market must be located within 150 miles of the Historic Manassas Farmers Market where they sell, as calculated using Google Maps' “Measure Distance” feature.

Please note that we are not accepting multi-level marketing (MLM) companies/products or home/roofing/window/patio contracting companies at the Market.

Step 2: LEARN THE MARKET RULES AND REGULATIONS

Please review our 2024 Vendor Handbook for more information, including Market fees, vendor requirements, and expectations of participating in one of our markets.

Step 3: SUBMIT APPLICATION FOR THE 2024 SEASON

To apply as a DROP-IN vendor or Community Guest to the Historic Manassas Farmers Market, kindly fill out the application form below. Upon submission, a one-time non-refundable application fee of $25 will be required.

Step 4: APPLICATION REVIEW AND STATUS NOTIFICATION

Vendors who applied for the peak season have been notified of their selection. For all vendors, including Drop-Ins, approval status, market fee invoices, and all other communication are managed through the MarketSpread platform. Please ensure that you use an active email address to create your vendor profile.

 Step 5: VENDOR ORIENTATION

All vendors are required to attend a pre-season vendor orientation before the Market kicks off on April 11, 2024. During the meeting, vendors will meet Historic Manassas Farmers Market staff members, review the rules and regulations provided in the 2024 Vendor Handbook, and have the opportunity to ask questions and meet fellow members of their new market community.
