Rocky Butte Farmers Market
A practical guide to applying, preparing, and selling at this market.
Start with the essentials
Before you apply.
Application & booth fees
A 10×10-foot booth costs $35 for farmers or $45 for other vendors per market day. Approved applicants also pay a $20 nonrefundable approval fee.
Licenses and insurance
The handbook requires $1 million liability coverage per occurrence and $2 million total, with proof two weeks before your first market date. Follow its additional-insured instructions.
Booth setup
Bring a canopy with at least 20 pounds of weight per leg. Vehicles must leave the market area by 8:45 am; booths open at 9 am.
Booth discounts
The handbook offers qualifying vendors financial-need discounts, a second-booth discount for businesses under five years old, and an attendance rebate. Ask the manager about eligibility and reporting.
Utilities and sales reporting
No power or Wi-Fi is supplied. Bring any water needed for your booth, and report gross sales through Marketspread, email or the market’s paper form.
