The College Park Farmers Market-- November
About the application
The Local Habit is bringing a weekly farmers market to Great Southern Box Co. in the heart of College Park.
This isn't a one-time pop-up—it's a market designed to become part of people's weekly routine. A place where neighbors gather, families spend their Sunday mornings, and local businesses become the businesses people know by name.
We're creating an experience where guests can grab brunch, listen to live music, shop local, let the kids play, and discover new small businesses—all in one place.
Here's what guests can expect:
🎵 Live DJ
🥂 Bottomless Mimosas
🍳 Brunch Specials
👶 Kid Zone
🛍️ A thoughtfully curated lineup of local vendors
Interested in becoming a vendor? Here's what you need to know:
• Bread and cookie vendors are welcome.
• At this time, we are not accepting other food or beverage vendors.
• Vendors must commit to the full month so the community can get to know and support your business.
• Active promotion is expected. Building a successful market is a collaborative effort, and every business plays a role in bringing people through the gates.
• This is a long-term weekly market—not a pop-up. We're looking for businesses that want to plant roots, build relationships, and grow alongside us.
If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
Applications are reviewed to create the best mix of vendors for the market and are not accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
About the event
Terms & Conditions
Vendor Terms & Conditions
By submitting this application, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the following Vendor Terms & Conditions.
1. Application & Acceptance
Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance into the market. The Local Habit reserves the right to approve or decline any application at its sole discretion to maintain a balanced vendor mix and create the best possible experience for guests.
2. Vendor Fees, Monthly Commitment & Payment
The College Park Farmers Market operates on a monthly membership model. Vendors accepted into the market are reserving their space for every Sunday during the selected month.
Payment is due immediately upon approval.
If payment is not received, The Local Habit will send one payment reminder. Vendors will then have 24 hours to complete payment. If payment is not received within that timeframe, the reserved space will be forfeited and offered to another business without further notice.
Monthly vendor fees reserve your space for the entire month and may not be split, prorated, or applied to individual Sundays.
3. No Refunds, Transfers, Credits & Missed Markets
Because vendor spaces are reserved for the entire month, all payments are non-refundable, non-transferable, and non-prorated.
If a vendor is unable to attend one or more Sundays during their reserved month, no refunds, credits, make-up dates, or partial reimbursements will be issued.
Monthly fees reserve your space regardless of attendance, including but not limited to illness, emergencies, scheduling conflicts, weather, low sales, low attendance, or removal from the market for failure to comply with these Terms & Conditions.
4. Monthly Attendance Commitment
By joining the College Park Farmers Market, vendors agree to participate in every Sunday market during the month they have reserved.
Consistency is one of the foundations of this market. Our goal is for guests to recognize returning businesses, build relationships with vendors, and create shopping habits that benefit everyone.
Repeated absences, frequent late arrivals, or failure to fulfill your monthly commitment may affect future participation and renewal opportunities.
5. Arrival & Check-In
Vendors must arrive within the designated arrival and setup window communicated in the Vendor Load-In Email and any official vendor communications.
To ensure a safe and efficient setup, vendors arriving after the designated arrival window has closed will not be permitted to set up or participate that day. Please allow extra travel time and plan accordingly.
6. Booth Requirements
Booth spaces are limited to 10' x 10' unless otherwise approved.
All tents must be secured with a minimum of 40 pounds of weight per leg at all times.
Vendors are responsible for providing all equipment needed for their booth including tents, tables, chairs, displays, extension cords, and other setup materials.
Booths must remain within their assigned space and may not obstruct neighboring vendors or walkways.
7. Parking
Vendors must follow all parking, unloading, and traffic instructions provided by The Local Habit team.
Vehicles must be moved to designated parking areas immediately after unloading and may not remain behind vendor booths or in unauthorized locations.
8. Vendor Engagement & Conduct
The College Park Farmers Market is intentionally creating a place where people know one another, support local businesses, and look forward to returning every Sunday.
Our vendors are more than businesses renting space—they are an essential part of the experience.
Vendors are expected to:
Be welcoming and approachable.
Stand and engage with guests whenever possible.
Smile, answer questions, and create conversation.
Maintain a clean, inviting booth.
Participate in themed market days and community activities when applicable.
Help create an enjoyable atmosphere for everyone attending.
We do not view our vendors as simply service providers. We view them as partners helping build a long-term community tradition.
All vendors are expected to treat guests, fellow vendors, staff, volunteers, venue partners, and The Local Habit team with professionalism, kindness, and respect at all times.
Harassment, discrimination, aggressive behavior, offensive language, intoxication, illegal activity, or conduct inconsistent with the values of The Local Habit will not be tolerated.
Failure to meet these expectations may result in removal from the market and future participation without refund.
9. Respecting Our Shared Space
Each vendor is responsible for keeping their booth clean throughout the market and removing all trash, boxes, inventory, and other waste before leaving.
Please leave your space cleaner than you found it.
10. Health & Safety
Vendors agree to operate safely and comply with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations.
Vendors must:
Keep booths clean and organized.
Keep walkways and emergency access clear.
Maintain properly weighted tents throughout the market.
Follow all food safety regulations.
Report accidents or safety concerns immediately.
11. Food Vendor Requirements
Food vendors are solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining all licenses, permits, inspections, certifications, insurance, and health department approvals required by the State of Florida and all applicable agencies.
12. Marketing & Promotion
The College Park Farmers Market is built through collaboration.
The Local Habit invests significant resources into advertising, partnerships, community outreach, signage, social media, and event promotion. We expect every participating vendor to actively market both their business and the market.
By participating, vendors agree to:
Create a minimum of three (2) social media posts each week promoting the market.
Share weekly reminders, reels, stories, or other content leading up to each Sunday whenever possible.
Promote participation beyond social media through email, newsletters, text messages, customer conversations, flyers, and word-of-mouth.
Tag and collaborate with The Local Habit whenever applicable.
Invite customers, family, friends, and supporters to attend.
The strongest markets are built when every business contributes to bringing people through the gates.
Failure to actively promote your participation may affect future participation and renewal opportunities.
13. Attendance, Sales & Foot Traffic
The Local Habit does not guarantee attendance, foot traffic, leads, or sales.
Most markets are not ticketed, making attendance impossible to predict. Attendance is influenced by weather, holidays, competing events, vendor participation, community engagement, and the collective marketing efforts of everyone involved.
While The Local Habit actively promotes the market, every vendor is expected to promote their own participation.
Please understand that each business serves a different audience. One vendor may have a line while another experiences slower traffic. This does not mean the market was unsuccessful or that those customers were your target audience.
Because this is a recurring weekly market, vendors are encouraged to measure success over the course of the month rather than a single Sunday. Customer relationships are built through consistency, and returning each week allows businesses to gain recognition, repeat customers, and long-term growth.
Vendors are encouraged to create engaging experiences through demonstrations, samples (when permitted), specials, bundles, giveaways, and themed promotions.
14. Photography & Media Release
By participating, vendors grant The Local Habit permission to photograph and record their booth, products, branding, employees, and participation for promotional, educational, website, print, and social media purposes without additional compensation.
15. Weather Policy
Markets are held rain or shine unless otherwise announced by The Local Habit.
Vendors are responsible for preparing for changing weather conditions, including rain, heat, and wind.
16. Assumption of Risk & Liability
Vendors participate at their own risk and assume full responsibility for their property, equipment, inventory, employees, representatives, and guests.
The Local Habit, Great Southern Box Co., the property owner, sponsors, volunteers, partners, and affiliates shall not be held responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged property, personal injury, business interruption, or other losses except where required by applicable law.
17. Right to Refuse or Remove
The Local Habit reserves the right to refuse any application or remove any vendor, with or without notice, if the vendor:
Violates these Terms & Conditions.
Creates an unsafe environment.
Acts dishonestly or unprofessionally.
Misrepresents products or services.
Fails to follow directions from market staff.
Fails to meet monthly participation expectations.
Engages in conduct inconsistent with the mission and culture of The Local Habit.
Removal does not entitle the vendor to a refund, transfer, or credit.
18. Agreement
By submitting this application, you certify that all information provided is accurate and complete and that you have read, understood, and agree to abide by these Vendor Terms & Conditions and any additional market instructions communicated by The Local Habit before or during your participation.
I think this version is considerably stronger than the original because it explains why you're requiring a monthly commitment instead of making it sound like a payment policy. It positions the market as a permanent destination where consistency benefits everyone, which aligns with the vision you've been building.
