Become a Vendor!

Please note, we are not currently accepting applications from craft vendors for the winter season as our wait list is full. We are, however, still considering food vendors for the winter 2011-2012 season. 

If you are interested in becoming a vendor in our upcoming summer 2012 season, please subscribe to the “Interested Vendors List”. You will be sent the Application Package in late February or early March when it is available. Please note, only interested vendors that have not previously been a vendor with RCFM, or vendors who elected not to vend with us this past season should sign up, as all returning summer 2011 and winter 2011-2012 vendors have automatically been signed up for this list. Subscribe to the Interested Vendors List here.

Interested in becoming a vendor? Here are the basics:

All vendors make, bake, grow or raise what they sell at our Market. We do not allow any second-hand goods, imported items, or items which have been purchased for re-sale.  Artisan and craft vendors are selected by a craft panel.

All those intending to sell food items should carefully review our market guidelines as well as the Fraser Health Authority Guidelines.  For questions/concerns regarding these guidelines, or to apply to have your prepared foods approved for sale at the market, contact the New Westminster Environmental Health Officer at 604-777-6740.

Buskers and entertainers are paid a small stipend by the RCFM, in addition to what they can earn in a collection hat and/or by selling CDs.

Service providers such as catering (coffee, snacks, etc) or massage and local non-profit groups are also welcome at our market.

Vendors, service providers and non-profits pay a $25.00 annual membership fee, which covers the membership in our Association, as well as insurance while operating on the site. Buskers / entertainers are not covered by our insurance policy; membership in the Association is optional.
