Farmers Market Vendor Information

​​

1.  Our goal is to have a variety of local farm and artisan/craft vendors at this market.  Local Farmers/Growers will be given registration priority.

​​​

2.  Registration is on a first come, first serve basis.  We reserve the right to decline a vendor's registration.  Vendors selling products and original crafts are welcome to participate.  Vendor registration will be subject to the availability of market space.  Vendors agree and acknowledge that we CANNOT guarantee product exclusivity.  If vendors selling similar items are registered for the same date, we will do our best to not locate those vendors next to each other to encourage customers to shop all the market vendors.

​

3.  It is each vendor's responsibility to help publicize the market.  By sharing and posting market events, we can reach a larger audience for all.

​

4.  Market will be held rain or shine.  There are no rain dates.  In the event of inclement weather that causes Little Paws to cancel a market date, the vendor registration fee will be transferred to another week of the 2026 market season if another date is available.  A vendor's registration fee will only be refunded for a date cancelled by us when there are no market dates remaining.

​​

5.  All vendor spaces will be outdoors.  No access will be provided to the inside of the library.  No electricity access will be provided to vendors.

​

6.  Vendor spaces are approximately 10' x 12'.  Vendors may reserve more than one continuous space, up to 3 spaces.  Vendor space must NOT be left unattended.

​

7.  Vendors are responsible for bringing their own tables, chairs, displays, tents/canopies.  NO tables, chairs, tents/canopies will be provided by Little Paws, nor Atlantic County Library, Atlantic County or Township of Egg Harbor.

​

8. Vendors must fit all displays, tables, chairs, tents/canopies within their own assigned space(s).

​​

9.  Vendors are encouraged, but not required, to bring their own tent/canopy.  A vendor using a tent/canopy in their assigned space(s) must use weights with a minimum of 25-pound weight on each tent/canopy pole.

​

10.  Vendors assume all responsibility for loss or damage to their product, merchandise, vehicles, including fire, flood or theft.

​

12.  Vendor Check-In:  Vendors must check with Little Paws (April Himes) for their space assignment for each market date the vendor has registered to attend.

​

13.  Vendor Clean-Up Time:  Vendors are expected to have their displays set up until 1:00pm.  Any vendor who packs up before the market day ends may not be invited to participate in future market dates.  Each vendor must remove any trash/recycling from their space, leaving the space broom clean.  Any trash receptacles provided are for market customers only.  Clean-Up must be concluded by 1:45pm.  Any vendor who does not clean up their space may be subject to a $25 clean up fee.

​

14.  Vendor Parking: Vendors must park in the designated vendor parking area as instructed by Little Paws.  Vendors cannot leave their cars in the loading/unloading areas during the market hours.  Subject to Little Paws' sole discretion, some vendors (such as farmers or food trucks) may be permitted to park on the grass perimeter along Veteran's Way.  Vendors cannot sell any products on any other part of the library grounds.

​

15.  Prepared Food:  Any prepared food sold must be pre-packaged and meet all Atlantic County Department of Health Requirements for food sales.  All food vendors must have their own mobile vendor license, retail food license or Cottage Food Operator Permit, if applicable, no later than May 1, 2026.  Food vendors agree and acknowledge they may be subject to inspection from the Atlantic County Department of Health at any market date.  Food vendors are also required to comply with all Egg Harbor Township food license requirements including an E.H.T. Food Vendor license, or any other food licensing required by E.H.T.
