Becoming A Vendor

To help guide all prospective vendors, we have developed a Vendor Handbook detailing the Lake Oswego Farmers' Market's rules, regulations, guidelines, setup/load-out procedures and selection criteria. Interested vendors should review this handbook in full.  A few notes to interested vendors:

• Applications open online on www.managemymarket.com in early January of each year. 
• Submission of application does not guarantee acceptance. All Market applicants are juried.  
• There is a non-refundable $25 application fee. 
• Products must be grown, raised, caught, gathered, produced or crafted by the vendor in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, Idaho).
• The Lake Oswego Farmers' Market is primarily an agricultural market.  Artist vendors, non-profits and community organizations are permitted on a limited basis and may apply through the online application process like all other vendors. Accepted applicants in these categories typically participate 1-2 dates per season. The application allows vendors to select specific dates they are interested in. 
• Kids Corner: The Lake Oswego Farmers' Market has a weekly Kids Corner for youngsters.  Local schools and youth organizations are invited to participate by providing a craft or activity for youngsters on their assigned Market date(s). Kids Corner applicants can also apply through the online application.
• Sponsorship: There are numerous opportunities to support the Lake Oswego Farmers' Market!  It's a great way to connect with our 8,000+ weekly customers, and we appreciate the support. For specifics, please contact Sponsorship Coordinator, Robin at rkrakauer@lakeoswego.city.
