Grow Your Own Food Farmers Market Vendor Registration
Space is limited. There is no cost to participate but you must provide your own tent. Tent weights are required. Priority will be given to farmers/producers. Cooking and food preparation is not allowed at the market unless you are a food truck who has met all requirements set forth by the City of Newport News (health and fire permit and inspection). Vendors who serve food, are required to have a business license. Any food vendors (trucks, trailers and carts)are required to have a Newport News business license. In exchange for your participation, we will market and promote your farm/business via our social media channels, website, printed flyers, and newsletter. We also ask that you promote the event on your marketing channels. This event is free and open to the public. There will be a tree giveaway and workshops during this event. Last year we had roughly 500 participants. Setup time is from 7:30-8:45.The event is from 9 am - 1 p.m. You will be provided with a 10 x 10 space. If there is rain, we will move the event inside.

Market Vendors may only sell crafts and related products that are handmade. Flea market sales are not allowed. Refurbished/reclaimed items must be at least 70% handmade using new materials. (i.e. painted picture frames and furniture are not permitted unless item meets the 70% rule.) Agriculture/food related vendors have priority for participation in the market. It is the sole responsibility of the vendor to abide by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services regulations.
