Next Steps After Completing This Form:

After submitting this form, you will be redirected to a payment page for the annual vendor fee.

• Produce Vendors: The $50 annual fee is required for all produce vendors who wish to sell on non-market days. This fee must be paid before proceeding with registration.
• Food & Craft Vendors: The $50 annual fee is available as an up-front payment option to cover the seven market events of the season (April–October). This provides a total savings of $20 compared to paying $10 per market individually. If you choose this option, you will not need to pay for market spaces separately each month.
• If you prefer to pay per market instead, you may exit the payment screen and proceed with monthly registration as usual.

🚨 Important: This contract does not serve as market event registration. All vendors must register monthly in the Springhill Farmers Market Verified Vendor group on Facebook to reserve a space for each market event.

🔹 Final Steps:
✅ Scroll to the bottom of the screen, sign the signature line, and click "Submit."
✅ Do not pay the $50 fee unless you are a produce vendor or a food/craft vendor choosing the annual payment option.
✅ You will receive an automated confirmation email once your vendor agreement has been submitted.
✅ After receiving confirmation, vendors should proceed to the Springhill Farmers Market Verified Vendor group to complete monthly market space registration.
