OUr 20 week market is $150.00 to join (get a booth) and 10% of each week's revenue.  Can't remember what the weekly rate is, but something like $20-25.00 if you don't sign up for the whole season.

        Hi,
        I am new to the list.  My husband & I sell organically grown produce at the local farmers market.  We have 34 raised bed boxes that are 8ft x 4ft x 10" deep, and our primary products are greens, peas, carrots, celery and beets.

        I am a member of the board of directors of our farmers market which has approximately 30 vendors.  Our season runs from late May to mid October.  Our annual board meeting is in 2 weeks and one of the things we will be discussing is fees.  Currently, if you prepay, it's $130 for the entire season (22 weeks), if you pay as you go it's $20 per week to a maximum of $200.  There are no other dues or fees.

        I would really appreciate it if anyone who participates in a farmers market would be willing to share with me what the fee structure is at your market.

        Thanks so much
