Eligibility Criteria

The Vendor Verification program certifies farmers’ market vendors selling products in three categories:

Primary Food Producers

These are the classic items most people expect to find at a farmers’ market: fresh, unprocessed fruit, vegetables, cut flowers, plants and nuts, honey, eggs, fresh or frozen meat and fish, herbs and mushrooms are all considered primary products.

Value Added Food Products

Value added products are raw products that have been modified or enhanced.   Some examples include fruits made into pies or jams, meats made into jerky, and tomatoes and peppers made into salsa.

Artisan / Craft

Artisan products are made by hand usually in small batches.   Some examples include craft items such as knitting, textiles, clothing, as well as photography, pottery, candles, soap, bath and body products, cleaning products and more.

Ineligible products include resellers, Franchises and distributorships.
