Thank you for your interest in becoming a vendor with the Orange Community Farmers and Artisan Market. Submitting this application does not ensure a space at the market, as all vendors will undergo a certification process in order to participate. We will contact you if you have been accepted and when there is space for your products. This may mean that you will be offered an alternative date/dates, as we want to make sure there are a variety of different products at each market day. However, since we are a community-based market, we would like to give all qualified vendors who reside in the Orange School District an opportunity to participate. Qualified vendors must reside in the Orange School District and be compliant with the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s Cottage Law regarding food safety. https://agri.ohio.gov/divisions/food-safety/resources/cottage-food. There may be space given to vendors outside the district if there are vacancies after all qualified district residents have been screened and placed.

​

Bakers/Food Purveyors: A written list of products you wish to bring to market must be submitted with your application. We encourage you to use local ingredients whenever possible. We will only accept vendors who produce enough quantity of product for a market setting (more than a few dozen cookies, for example). Photographs are encouraged for marketing purposes (by participating in the market, you are giving permission for your product photos to be shared publicly). All food items need to be packaged and have an ingredients list for consumers to view. If you have questions about the packaging and labeling guidelines, see the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s website:https://agri.ohio.gov/divisions/food-safety.
