Claremont Farmers’ Market
Application for Membership 

The Market will be held Thursdays from 4:00pm to 7:00pm, June 16 - October 6, 2005. 

Vendors must agree to the following: 

1.	All items to be sold must be produced within the state of NH or VT and listed on application. Board approval is required prior to the sale of any items not included on a Vendor’s original application.
2.	The Market will be held RAIN or SHINE. Customers expect a full Market each week, whether or not the sun shines. In case of truly severe weather, Vendors will be contacted by a Board Member and advised of plans for Market cancellation or early closing.
3.	Vendors are responsible for complying with all applicable NH Dept of Agriculture regulations and obtaining their own product liability insurance.
4.	Vendors selling by weight are expected to use certified scales.
5.	Vendors must provide their own tables, tent/canopy, table coverings and signage – and must remove all trash before leaving the Market.
6.	Vendors are responsible for being set up by the time the Market’s opening bell rings at 4:00pm and remaining in place until the Market closes. Any non-complying Vendor will be issued a written warning; repeated violations may result in revocation of vending privileges.
7.	Sale of products prior to the Market’s opening at 4:00pm is prohibited. Any Vendor selling product prior to the opening bell will be issued a written warning; repeated violations may result in revocation of vending privileges. 
8.	Vendors must move their vehicles from spaces adjoining the Market as soon as they have unloaded – AND BEFORE the Market’s opening bell.  If customers cannot find adequate parking nearby, we all lose sales. Any non-complying Vendor will be issued a written warning; repeated violations may result in revocation of vending privileges.
9.	Any Vendor unable to attend a particular Market as scheduled must provide notice to the Market President or a Board Member no later than the Tuesday prior. This is vital to enable wait-listed Vendors to fill gaps in the Market which might otherwise discourage customers from shopping.
10.	Non-agricultural products’ inclusion is subject to the approval of the Market Board.  The Board also reserves the right to limit the numbers of Vendors and/or sale of specific items to retain a balanced market.  The Board cannot guarantee, but will try to accommodate, placement requests as it assigns Market spaces. Vendor wait-list will be based on date of application receipt.

Weekly Vending Fee is $10.00.
Full Season Fee (all 17 weeks, including membership) is $75.00 SAVE >50%!
