Attention processed or prepared food vendors
If you're applying to be a processed or prepared food vendor then we want you to be familiar with and purchase your raw ingredients from farmers within WA states! We are a farmer's market after all. The folks over at Eat Local First have been compiling lists and making a map of farms, fisheries, ranches and wholesale distributors that would love your support. (Also we love them!) They've shared this info with us so that we can pass it along to you to source more local ingredients.
The map below allows you to explore by location. Zoom in and out, click on the clusters or orange map pins to find local wholesale producers and learn about their offerings.
Want to search for a specific product, or filter by production methods like: Organic, Halal, etc.?
Visit the full Wholesale Finder on their website.

Can I get my booth number before the market?
Sometimes we have to make changes to the Market Layout the day-of so we provide booth numbers when you arrive on Market Day (example: car illegally parked on Market Street) .
I can no longer attend an upcoming Market What do I do? Are there fees?
How to communicate an absence:
Step 1: Email vendors@sfmamarkets.com the week of and at minimum 24-hours before the Market opens that your business is unable to attend.
Step 2: Update your attendance in Manage My Market.
Note: Updating in just Manage My Market is not sufficient notice
Fee policy for no call/no show or less than 24 hours of notice:
Our fee policy for no call/no show or less than 24-hours of notice is $43 (which includes a bank processing fee).
Before reserving future space for your business, this fee must be paid in full. We will waive this fee if you are sick or experiencing an emergency.
Winter Weather Attendance and Market Cancellation Policy
If it’s unsafe due to weather for you or your staff to drive to the Market, there are no penalties or fees to cancel due to safety. Just send us an email at vendors@sfmamarkets.com and let us know. Safety is number one and we ask that you use your best judgment when deciding to attend or not attend a market.
In the very rare event we decide to cancel a market due to weather we will first email all vendors (with the email you have listed on www.managemymarket.com) and then post the announcement to our social media and website.
Please be sure that your market staff are listed in Manage My Market so they receive this communication too. Due to the unpredictability of weather, we may not know if we are going to cancel the market until the morning of. As soon as we make the call, we will alert you all.
