Welcome to the 2022 Season! We are looking forward to another successful farmers market in the Village of Clinton and we invite you to submit your application. Please note, there are changes from last year.
The Clinton Chamber of Commerce manages the Clinton Farmers Market on the Village Green. The 2022 Clinton Farmers Market will run on Thursdays from June 2 – October 6 from 10 am – 4 pm. The Clinton Farmers Market takes place rain or shine.
This application is for Returning Vendors ONLY: Once your completed application (along with payment and Certificate of Liability Coverage naming the “Village of Clinton” and the “Clinton Chamber of Commerce” as additional insured) is received , you are approved to participate in the 2022 market. You will be contacted if we have any questions.
Returning Vendor Application Due Date: Friday, April 1, 2022. We have a long waitlist of prospective new vendors who would like to participate in the Clinton Farmers Market. If your application is not received by Friday, April 1, 2022, your vendor spot from last year may be given away.
Vendor Selection Criteria: The Clinton Farmers Market is fortunate to have returning vendors who come year after year. Consideration will be given to those vendors with seniority. Highest priority will be given to farmers, growers, and producers. Other vendor selection criteria include:
- History with the Clinton Farmers Market including but not limited to: adherence to market rules and regulations; number of years participated in the market; weekly market attendance/tardiness record; and payment of fees.
- History of Health Department violations anywhere and parking violations at the Clinton Farmers Market.
- Enhancement of overall product mix at the market without creating excessive supply of any one product as determined by the Market Manager and Farmers Market Committee.
- Quality of products for sale by vendor as well as attractiveness and presentation of products/displays at vendor’s booth.
Please note, a completed application requires a copy of all relevant licenses and permits to conduct business in New York State (click here for the Farmers Market Federation of NY requirements), Certificate of Liability coverage naming the “Village of Clinton” and the “Clinton Chamber of Commerce” as additional insured and the vendor fee payment.
NEW for 2022:
- CLEAN UP AND TRASH: Vendors must leave their area as they found it with no produce, trash or any kind of liquid other than water on the ground. Vendors are responsible to carry out their own trash. The village of Clinton provides trash cans for use by customers. Waste produced from vending should NOT be dumped there.
- PARKING: Vendors CANNOT park at the Clinton Arena this year. The Arena will have construction all summer. The new designated parking location is Hale Transportation Bus Garage Lot located right across the street from the Clinton Arena. The Clinton School Lot will be available when school is on summer break. DO NOT park in the Alexander Hamilton Institute lot. This is a private property and vendors DO NOT have permission to use it.
- VENDOR FEE INCREASE: A percentage of the vendor fee will be donated to the Village of Clinton DPW for village green maintenance.
- MATS/RUGS/PADS: The Village of Clinton DPW has requested vendors place mats/rugs/pads large enough to cover where you stand.
Tent: Reminder – No Stakes – please use weights. An underground water line was previously ruptured.
