Membership Fees: In order to sell at the market, all vendors must pay a $45.00 seasonal fee or a $15 daily fee. Fees will be collected by a member of the Board of Directors of the Downtown South Boston Farmers Market. Fees are not refundable; checks should be made payable to the Downtown South Boston Farmers Market.
Space Availability: Covered space under roof is limited. Space is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. The south side of the upper shelter we ask that you unload your vehicle and move it out from under the shelter
Items Allowed: Locally grown fresh fruits, vegetables, and other items such as baked goods, fresh juices or cider, pickled items, sorghum molasses, dried vegetables and fruits, fresh eggs, honey, jams, jellies, and potted plants and fresh-cut flowers. When selling dairy, meat or poultry products as well as all perishables you are obligated and responsible for being in compliance with the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) and the Virginia Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (VDACS).
The Downtown South Boston Farmers Market Board will determine price guidelines no less than once per week during the growing season. You can sell produce you raise, at the price set, or higher. Produce bought from another local producer/vendor for resale must sell at the same price as the other vendors.
If you do not raise produce, then you cannot be a producer/vendor and sell produce at the Downtown South Boston Farmers Market. Locally crafted items may be sold along with or associated with produce or baked goods. Labeling and inspection of all food items are the responsibility of the vendor.
If you have questions/concerns regarding inspection of any items, you may contact the Virginia Cooperative Extension office or contact VDACS at 804-786- 2373; FAX: 804-371-6097
Items Prohibited: Flea market items, perishable food items or acidic based canned goods that fail to meet DHS and VDACS food safety standards. No wild game, flavorings, and live animals are allowed.
Vendor Responsibility and Liability: Each vendor is individually responsible for his/her products and for customer complaints/injuries sustained from products sold. Vendors should check with their insurance agent about adding this protection to their homeowners’ policy. It is highly recommended that you carry appropriate liability coverage. Vendors are responsible for cleaning their table and area before they leave for the day. It is also asked that vendors help with events and with maintaining the market.
Approved Scales: In order to sell at the Market all vendors must use scales that have been checked and approved by the Virginia Bureau of Weights & Measures of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS). Special checking sessions will be held at the Market site periodically. No vendor selling produce by weight may sell without the use of an approved scale. Hanging scales are acceptable, but common kitchen-type scales are not.
