Official application information

Start with the essentials

Before you apply.

Next application season

Applications are closed. The market says they reopen in January 2027; you can use its interest form to ask about future participation.

Geography and resale

Products must generally be grown, raised, caught, gathered or made by the vendor in Oregon or southwest Washington. Secondary-farm sales need advance approval and are limited to 15%.

Winter-only crafts

Handmade crafts are considered only for November–April markets. Craft acceptance is not year-round.

Ingredient and product sourcing

Prepared-food vendors must document direct purchases from Oregon or Washington farms. The standard minimum is 20% of raw ingredients; vendors below that threshold pay 10% of gross sales, with a $55 minimum.

Application & booth fees

For 2026, a standard 10 × 10 booth costs $47 per day for farmers or $55 for non-farm vendors. Other booth sizes and sourcing-based fees differ; the application software fee is $10.

Booth discounts

Reduced fees are listed for beginning farmers and qualifying new BIPOC-owned food businesses. Spaces are limited; ask the market whether your business qualifies.

Licenses and insurance

Provide applicable licenses and $1 million general liability insurance naming Montavilla Farmers Market as an additional insured. Acceptance documents are due two weeks before your first market.

Booth setup

Bring at least 20 lb of weight for each canopy leg. Remove vehicles by 9:45 am and be ready to sell at 10 am.

Reusable dining ware

Food eaten on site generally requires reusable plates, cups and utensils. The handbook lists exceptions for baked goods, cold beverages and hot-beverage cups.
