As we embark on another market season and reflect on last year, I have many new and potential vendors ask, “What do I need to I need to get started as a vendor at market?”
With that being asked/said….
Allen County Farmers' Market has put together a checklist for new vendors to assist them in getting ready for market season. Hopefully you will find this beneficial. We welcome your feedback.
