Vending at the farmers markets
We're more than just a Market: we're a service to our vendors.
Cascade Community Markets has a dedicated staff that can support vendors in connecting with the community to find land, resources, grants, and education. We can help you get your business prepared to thrive at the markets, register to accept food access currency, and spread the word when you're hiring.
We solicit sponsorships to keep application costs low for all vendors and fundraise to subsidize daily vending fees for farmers, doing our part to ensure that farming remains financially viable in our valley.
We market the Markets all throughout the valley, represent our vendors interests in community and partner meetings, and advocate for our vendors needs at the City and County level.
Join us to find the support your small business deserves.
