Daily or New Vendor Check-In & Setup
Are you a new vendor or daily vendor? When you arrive to the market for setup, please check in at the DOFM booth located at the corner of Exchange and Ball Street. We’ll confirm your contract on file / take vendor fee. Then a member of our team will direct you to your vendor spot for that day! You are not required to pre-pay for all of your daily vendor dates in advanced: cash is accepted upon arrival, or use the online link above to pay the day before the market.
Please review your vendor contract for market procedures and setup requirements.
Can You Accept Nutrition Assistance Program Vouchers?
SNAP, Double Up Food Bucks and EBT benefits can be used to purchase any approved food item and seeds or plants that produce food.
Use the Food Assistance Eligibility Guide to understand what products you can sell to customers purchasing with each food assistance program offered at DOFM. Participating vendors are required to sign a USDA provided contract at the market to accept these payments.
