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:
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.
Please review our 2025 Vendor Handbook for more information, including Market fees, vendor requirements, and expectations of participating in one of our markets.
To apply to the Historic Manassas Farmers Market, complete the application form and select the market you're interested in, including the Winter Market. A one-time non-refundable annual application fee of $25 is required upon submission.
The application deadline for full time participation is Sunday, February 9 at midnight. Applications for DROP-INs and Community Guests are accepted and reviewed starting March 3 and throughout the season.
Please note: Submitting an application and paying the application fee does not imply nor guarantee a space in the Market.
Vendors who applied for the peak season by the February 9 deadline will be notified by February 21 if they have been selected or denied. If approved, Market fee payments are due by March 10, while insurance documents and paperwork are due by March 20.
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.
All vendors are required to attend a pre-season vendor orientation before the Market kicks off in April 2025. During the meeting, vendors will meet Historic Manassas Farmers Market staff members, review the rules and regulations provided in the 2025 Vendor Handbook, and have the opportunity to ask questions and meet fellow members of their new market community.
