Co-Op Booth. The Co-Op booth has been created to bring even greater variety into the market place. This booth is a great opportunity for gardeners who have extra produce, small farms who cannot attend the markets and specialty processed foods.,(candies,jams, etc.)  All processed foods must comply with local, county. state and federal guidelines.. All food related certificates and liability insurance certificates naming each market as the additional insured. All certificates are required with application. Note: applications without proper paperwork will not be processed.. Co-op members will be given an ID number and a large envelope. Members have two options of sales.
Options:
  1. Selling by weight. Members will have the use of a certified scale at the market and will be able to sell your items at your price  per pound.  Members are responsible for marking price on a voucher with members ID number, this voucher is given to the customer and collected by the cashier. Vouchers will be calculated at the end of each market. Funds will be placed in members envelope.                                                    
  2. Selling by the piece. Members will have items pre- packaged. and pre- priced with a tag and members ID number. Tags will be collected by the cashier and calculated at the end of each market and funds will be placed in members envelope.
  3. All members are responsible for displaying their items. The farmers & Artists will provide shelter , table space, bags and a cashier. Space is limited and members are  encouraged to provide their own tables and displays. Members are welcomed and encouraged to participate in selling own products during the markets, volunteers are always a blessing and makes life easier for all.
All members are required to remove items at the closing of the markets. The Farmers' & Artists' markets are not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged goods nor are we responsible for non secured tags or tags removed
All co-op members are governed by the same rules and regulations as a vendor and will follow the same guidelines.

The Co-op booth is not intended for full or part time vendors to use, rather an avenue for individuals with  small gardens, small farmers attending other markets, or businesses not  able to attend the markets. The market will consider all requests. All  items sold must be pre -approved prior to sales.
