FAQs for Vendors

How are vendors selected for the Market?

Market staff and a vendor selection committee (a varied group of veteran Orangeville Market vendors) meet to select the Summer Market Season vendors based on the criteria set out in the Market Rules & Regulations including the Health Board requirement of maintaining a minimum of 51% farmers/producers versus other food/non-food vendors. When possible, we reserve one vendor space per week during the outdoor season for not-for-profits, charities, community groups to connect with the community. Winter Market vendors are chosen by Market staff and are primarily summer market vendors.

What are the costs to participate in the Market?

Rates include the cost of the space only; vendors are responsible to supply their own canopies, weights, handwash stations, tables etc.  A one-time $25 non-refundable application fee applies to all successful vendors.
