Please review the following application guidelines carefully, as instructions have changed from previous years.

- Completing an application does not guarantee a vendor a space at the Roslindale Farmers’ Market. For priority consideration, your application must be submitted to RVMS no later than Sunday, March 31st. Applications received after March 31st will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Applicants will be notified beginning April 15th as to their status at the market and on a rolling basis (up to a two week period) thereafter. Payment will be due according to the schedule indicated below, in order to secure your space for the season.
- Vendors may sell only what they apply to sell, so please provide complete detail all products on your application. Growers must also provide contacts for, and identify products they will bring from a secondary grower but vendor liability extends to all produce at your stand. A detailed product list for each secondary farm must be included as well, complete with contact information.
- Payment must be received according to the schedule indicated below. If payment is not received by the deadline, your space will no longer be reserved.
Vendor Fees
We have decided to raise the fees this season for all vendors. The market is moving towards becoming a more self-sufficient project and is incurring associated costs, such as hiring more staff. Our fees are competitive with other markets in the area. Please be assured that fees will not be increased every year now that we feel our funding is at a sustainable level. Please contact the market manager with any questions.
