St. Johns Farmers Market
A practical guide to applying, preparing, and selling at this market.
Start with the essentials
Before you apply.
Booth fees
Per market day, a 10 × 10 ft stall costs $42 for farmers, $47 for non-farmer food vendors, $50 for arts/crafts, $55 for alcohol or $37 for registered nonprofit community booths.
Licenses and insurance
Liability coverage of at least $1 million must name St. Johns Center for Opportunity as an additional insured. Submit proof at least two weeks before your first market date; the market says not to purchase coverage before approval.
Tent weights
Bring a canopy with at least 20 lb secured to each leg, plus your own equipment and any approved power supply.
Sales reporting
Vendors submit estimated gross sales each week. The handbook treats individual reports as private, except for unnamed aggregate reporting or legally required disclosure.
