FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Could you give me information on how to get started as a flower vendor?  I have fresh flowers and would like a spot to sell them at the farmers' market.
A:
Spaces at the Market for locally grown items are reserved for area farmers and nurseries. Horticultural industry is the largest sector of New Jersey agriculture and we welcome inquiries from qualified farms, nurseries and garden centers. More information about growing for business in New Jersey can be found at the New Jersey Department of Agriculture's website: Jersey Grown. More farmer/vendor information can be found on our farmer/vendor page.

Q:Do the vendors at the Market accept WIC?
A: Many farmers are WIC approved. Many also accept Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program coupons. These are vouchers for local produce administered by state and federal programs to those in need—the Market is not involved in distributing them. You can get more information about the New Jersey WIC program by clicking here.

Q:I have a prepared food I want to sell at the Market. Can I get a space?
A: We must make sure that everyone comply with state and/or county regulations regarding health and safety requirements for food industry related items. If you are making food in a home kitchen, you are not able to sell it at the market. More farmer/vendor information can be found on our farmer/vendor page.

Q:Can I get a table to sell Pampered Chef/Avon/Tastefully Simple/etc.?
A: No.

Q: Can I raise money for my school group/charity/organization at the Market?

A: Yes, but with restrictions. The Market has become a popular attraction for donation-seeking school groups, sports teams, and charities. In the interest of fairness and organization, we must refuse anyone who hasn't requested and received permission to use the Market for fund raising purposes.

Bucket panhandling is not allowed at any time.
