The Kalamazoo Farmer's Market is now accepting vendor applications for the 2026 Season. Participation in the 2026 Farmers Market program includes a two step process.
The first step is to register your business as a vendor. This registration is a general application that allows you to create your profile, upload documents, establish your vendor profile, and outline your marketing branding elements. This general application will allow the event team to determine the best way to support your participation in the program throughout the year.
The second step is to register individually for the various events that you want to participate in. This separate application system by event type allows the event team to add events, provide updates to existing events, and help to streamline the process for making sure events are supportive of the participating events.
The individual events include, but are not limited to the following applications:
- Saturday Farmers Market - Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., May 2 through October 24, 2026.
- Thursday's Night Market - 4 series event in partnernship with Edison Neighborhood - Dates and times will be announced as soon as possible.
- Tuesday Markets - June through October -
- Winter Market - announced soon but probably not until Summer
This general application is designed to also provide information about previous participation, booth numbers assigned for previous events, and business information. As the transition is supported and this new vendor application is launched, every effort will be made to support vendors, assure that the transition is smooth and intentional, and that the experience the market promises is supported and engaged.
Throughout the season, vendors will be able to update their profiles, add additional information and use this site as a way to help event planners better position, engage, and support sales and reputations for vendors.
Please note that vendor booth fees are commensurate with the booth spaces and the complete payment rates are outlined in the individual event application sites. Payments will be through the site.
The Community Booth is one stall, free of charge, that is offered to organizations seeking to share information with Market shoppers.
Organizations need to use this application form to outline what they will do at the community booth to support our mission, local food initiatives, healthy living, and sustainability. This booth is nonpartisan, and specifically not designed for political discourse, advocacy, or branding.
We have one Community Booth space available each market day, and we will do our best to accommodate your date preferences. Community Booth Rules and Guidelines:
The Kalamazoo Farmers Market (KzFM) does not allow organizations or individuals to distribute materials, solicit, collect signatures, or otherwise set up at the Market without an approved application.
On their scheduled day, Community Booth organizations may provide shoppers with information or free items, or collect signups while at the Market. They may not collect signatures for any petitions or ballots.
Organizations at Community Booths may not sell anything at the Market. Organizations that want to sell items must apply through the vendor booth process.
For certain booth assignments, 10’x10’ tents/pop-up canopies are permitted. You must have 25 lb. weights for each tent leg to properly secure your tent. If not, you may be asked to take your tent down.
Folks staffing Community Booths must park in designated Vendor Parking in the outer parking lot. Parking in the correct area helps ensure close parking for Market shoppers.
Unless alternative arrangements have been made prior to Market day, you are expected to occupy the Community Booth on your scheduled day from Market open to close. Space and/or table may be forfeited if you are late without notifying the Market Director beforehand.
Folks staffing Community Booths must abide by all other Market Rules & Guidelines.
