How to be a Vendor

The Lakeland Downtown Farmers Curb Market is open every Saturday, 8-2, September through May and 8-1 June and July. The Market runs the entire length of Kentucky Avenue, from Lemon St. on the south to Oak St. on the north.

We emphasize handmade, homegrown, wholesome products, with a few exceptions that are carefully controlled.  For this reason, not all vendor applications are accepted. Careful consideration is given to the product mix at the Market as well as products that might compete with our Bricks & Mortar Downtown neighbors. Highest priority is given to produce and other high quality packaged food products that support a farmers market atmosphere.  Space is limited by product category, not necessarily by the Market’s overall space availability. We are not a “flea market” or a place for ordinary resale of products or independent distributors. Non-food vendors must meet high standards of craft/artisan designation by the Market committee.

***At this time we have met the threshold for the following categories. Applications from these categories will be immediately wait-listed.
