Setting Up a Stall at the Riverside Farmers Market The Riverside Farmers Market welcomes new vendors each spring, but interested sellers should know what is involved before applying. Stalls are available for growers, bakers, and small food producers who make or grow at least most of what they sell themselves; the market does not accept resellers of imported goods. Vendor applications open in February and are reviewed by a small committee that considers product variety, so the market does not end up with five stalls selling the same jam. Successful applicants pay a seasonal fee that covers a ten-by-ten-foot space, access to shared electricity for a limited number of stalls, and inclusion in the market's printed map and social media posts. All vendors selling prepared food, such as baked goods or preserves, must hold a valid food handler's certificate and provide proof of liability insurance. Fresh produce vendors are exempt from the certificate requirement but must still label items with their farm name and growing practices, such as whether pesticides were used. Setup begins at 7 a.m. on market days, two hours before the gates open to shoppers, and vendors are expected to keep their stall staffed and tidy until the official closing time. Vendors who no-show without notice twice in a season may lose their spot for the following year.
