Our producer only market is entering its 3rd season. Our liability
insurance is through Farm Bureau and is covered by FM income - stall
fees, membership fees, grants. It runs between $200 and $300 yearly
(I'm not treasurer!) We ask our producers to have their own liability,
but don't require documentation of the amount. Our lot was leased for
$1.00 the first year, and currently we are just being allowed to use it.
Our membership fee is $50.00 per stall, 2 stall maximum, plus $5.00 per
stall each day you sell. Money made is very variable - probably running
from less than $100.00 for very small vendors to over $1000/day in the
main season for the largest ones. Our town has a population of about
50,000.
