Dear Prospective Market Vendor:

Thank you for your interest in the Saturday’s Menominee Historic Downtown Farmers Market. We would like to welcome you to our family of hard-working, friendly vendors.  You can count on us to do everything we can to help you get established so that you can successfully market your products to our ever-growing base of loyal customers. This includes posting your information on our Webpage and Facebook accounts and sending market information to our email newsletter customers.

Last year with the COVID-19 pandemic we had to change the way we were doing business for the safety of our vendors and customers. We will continue to follow the rules and regulations of the states to ensure the health and safety of everyone that visits our markets. 

We will also continue to abide by state laws for our market for Michigan Cottage Food Law, MDAR and USDA, for eggs and meat regulations and hope you will consider joining us at our market as the law allows for an opportunity to expand your business. We also continue to abide by state law for our market for all crafters which need a Michigan Sales Tax License for selling items at farm markets. We will highlight all vendors on our Webpage and Facebook page for our market as when each vendor will be present.

In addition to addressing the needs of our vendors and customers, we will advertise and promote the market, keep you abreast of changes and announcements, and will coordinate our vendors’ participation in the Market FRESH, Project FRESH, WISE Women, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP/EBT), Fair Food Network’s Double UP Food Buck for the market season in Menominee. This market also accepts Visa, Master Card, and Discover credit/debit cards. 

Please take note of the following points:

           Regards
