The St. John’s Farmers’ Market 2012 Vendor Handbooks are now available. If you are a returning market vendor, a new market vendor, or are thinking about applying to be a market vendor please take a look through our handbook. This is especially important for hot food and prepared food vendors!
The vendor applications for the 2012 market season are now available.
Applicants will be contacted by the market manager to confirm reservations, or provide feedback on their application.
Vendors who sell food products at any Farmers’ Market in NL are now required by the province to hold a Seasonal Food Establishment License [License Application Form]
A vendor must apply to attend the SJFM and receive conditional approval from the Market before they can apply for the Seasonal Food Establishment License.
The SJFM will issue conditional approvals to food vendor applicants so that they can apply for their provincial license – this conditional approval will not guarantee bookings for specific market dates. Please allow up to a week for the Market to issue a conditional approval. Specific regulations and policies related to food preparation and sale at Farmers’ Markets can be found in the Service NL document called [Public Market Guidelines]. Vendors are responsible for learning and abiding by all of the appropriate regulations and policies. Questions about provincial food safety regulations should be directed to Environmental Health Officer Renee Dawe at reneedawe@gov.nl.ca, or 729-2007.
Vendors who sell non-food items, (i.e. arts and crafts), and whose craft has not been juried and approved by the market in the past, will need to be juried by the SJFM Co-op Jury before they may sell at the Market. The market manager will be in touch with relevant applicants with more information about the jurying process.
