Before applying, all prospective vendors are required to review the Sonoma County Certified Farmers Market Group bylaws, rules, and participation requirements.
These guidelines outline how our markets operate and what is expected of all vendors. Submitting an application indicates that you understand and are able to comply with these rules.
If you have any questions about these requirements before applying, please contact us at info@thesantarosafarmersmarket.com
Once you have reviewed and understand the requirements, proceed to Step 2.
If you are a nonprofit or community-based organization interested in participating in the market we have a separate application specifically for nonprofit participation.
Nonprofit booths are intended for community outreach, education, and engagement. They are not designed for general business promotion or commercial sales.
All nonprofit applicants must still be approved through our review process.

You can also bring your materials in person, along with samples of your products, to the Santa Rosa market. We’d be pleased to meet you! Time now for step 4.
After submission, a member of our team, either the Farmers Market Assistant or Market Manager Pegi Ball, may reach out to you directly by email or phone. This may be to ask follow-up questions or request additional details about your products or organization, so please keep an eye out and be prepared to respond.
Once a decision has been made, you will receive an official email from our team notifying you of your acceptance or status update.
Our typical review timeline is approximately 3–4 weeks. If you have not heard from us after one month, you are welcome to follow up.
Please keep in mind that we are a high-volume market managing hundreds of vendors throughout the season, and we appreciate your patience during this process.
If you prefer, you are also welcome to come to one of our farmer markets in person with your materials and product samples. We are always happy to meet prospective vendors.
Our website has all kinds of resources. Check out the different Markets and their locations and schedules. Visit our markets so you can get an idea of how things are arranged and what we generally expect. Talk to us.
Advance stall space reservations are required for all Markets. If a vendor reserves a space and fails to either cancel at least 48 hours previous or appear to do business on the Market Day, a fine equivalent to the minimum stall fee shall be assessed to the vendor.
