    All vendors must apply, have all needed documents, and be approved before vending. Incomplete applications will be denied.

    Do I need to pay the application fee when I apply?

    No. The application fee is a one-time payment due after you are accepted and can be paid via PayPal in conjunction with your first market fee.


    How much do spaces cost?
    Each Saturday rental spaces are $40 for single 10x10 booths. These can be paid via PayPal Sunday through Wednesday.  Electricity (if needed) is an additional $10.


    What paperwork do I need to be a vendor at your farmers market? 

    • All vendors need Business Liability Insurance. This can be obtained after acceptance but must be obtained before vending. Options (not endorsed by MDFM) include FLIP & Next Insurance.
    • Crafters and Non-Food Vendors Need a Tax ID number. 
    • Vendors preparing food whether as cottage food or in a commercial kitchen must have Food Handlers' Certificate.
    • Animal Food/Feed vendors need to upload their approval and licensing from the Texas State Chemist Office.

    My business makes food items what do I need to become a vendor with your Farmers Market?  
    Our market operates under Cottage Law. Ready to eat/drink items must meet requirements of Midland County Heath Department and be made on-site. Food Handlers permit, proper labeling, and proper packaging is required for Cottage Law food makers.



    I am a small, backyard gardener. Do I need a FSA# on my application?

    No, this information is only for commercial growers. 


    PET Food/Animal Feed What do I need?
    You will need a current copy of your Texas State Chemist (TSC) license and be in compliance with the TSC office.
    You will also need a sales tax permit.  

    Once I submit my application, do I just show up? 

    • No, applications must be approved before vending.

     

    • Submitting all your paperwork when filling out your application helps speed up this process. 


    ​
    I sell products for a company, but I don’t make them. Can I sell at MDFM?
    Not at this time. ALL items must be homemade, handcrafted or homegrown within 100 miles of Midland. 

    ​I am a local business or nonprofit but I don’t qualify as a regular vendor…. how do I get involved?
    We do allow and support local businesses with community outreach.
    Because of this we provide three opportunities for business to serve our community up to per category below:

    1. Non-Profit Booth
    2. Community Service Booth
