We prioritize having a small, curated market. The advertising we do is tailored to vendor sign ups, and changes weekly.

Customers often come to market specifically because of a vendor's presence. Customers who come expecting a certain vendor are unlikely to return if that vendor is absent. Every vendor is a critical part of the market's success, and you are expected to be present for each week you signed up.

Last minute cancellations for true emergencies can and do happen. We understand that, and will work with you to communicate this to your customers. However, repeated absences are detrimental to everyone's success. Our policies on cancellations and refunds follow.
I understand that if I need to cancel with less than a 15-day notice, I will only be entitled to a refund if I find a comparable replacement who will pay the vendor fee. If MAHS needs to cancel a market, all vendors will receive a full refund.*

YesNo
I understand that if I cancel with fewer than 48 hours notice, more than once per season, I will not be entitled to a refund.*

YesNo
I understand that if I am a no-call-no-show for any farmers market, I will no longer be eligible to participate in any future MAHS event as a vendor and will not be entitled to a refund.*
