Crafts
Some of our vendors sell beautiful crafted items that are made from products from their farms. Examples are dried flower and plant arrangements, spun sheep's wool and woven wool rugs, dried gourd art, wooden toys and whirligigs, goat's milk soap, and beeswax candles. However, because the RDFM is a growers Market, these vendors are first and foremost local farmers, and were accepted as members of our association because they grow everything that they sell.
If you are an artisan or crafter, but do not grow or raise the materials that you use to create your art, unfortunately we are unable to process your application to become a vendor at our Market.
Demonstrations/Ways to Share your Talents
We welcome inquiries about providing demonstrations at our markets. If you have a craft that directly promotes locally grown products, and wish to share your skills with the community, please contact us. Creative interactive demos help to promote the Farmers Market and your talents! We do not allow sales of your products at the Market, but you are welcome to provide materials advertising your business and/or events while demonstrating your craft.
