Lynden Artisan Market - Retail App

Vendor & Consignment Inquiry Application
The Lynden Artisan Market started when a compilation of local artisans came together at the Northwest Fair in the summer of 2021 to share a booth. What started out as a way to share the cost and burden of running a fair booth by yourself, turned into a recurring "market" FULL of local handmade items representing our community. Our name started to get out there and a lot of people kept asking, "Where is your store located?"

Five years later, Wendy Busch and Bobbi Nieuwsma have worked together to take the idea of the Lynden Artisan Market to new heights. Always wanting a store front of our own, it seemed logical to not only represent our own brands with a retail location one day, but to help our crafty friends showcase theirs, too!

Now the dream is coming ture. Wendy and Bobbi are ready to put even more work in to bring your local handmade products together in a one-stop-shopping retail location across from the Northwest Washington Fairgrounds and right next to Woods Coffee on Front Street in Lynden.

We are so thankful for everyone of you and are so excited to see what the future holds for all of us. Please take the time to fill out this application in full and tell us why you are a great fit for our store.
