VFM Vendor Interest Form-Craft
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Vancouver Farmers Market vendor!

This form is for craft vendors only. Please read the Are You Ready for Crafters & Vendor Handbook prior to completing this form. These are available on the Become a Vendor page on our website: https://eatlocal.org/vendors/become-a-vendor/

Because of the high number of applications we receive weekly, we can only contact applicants under consideration.

WE ARE PRODUCER-ONLY - please do not fill this out if your product is made outside of BC or you do not make what you would like to sell.

WHO QUALIFIES AS A CRAFT VENDOR?
- We are looking for professional quality, original craft items with a special eye towards anything that supports or enhances BC agriculture (think local flowers and herbs used in soap-making or locally handmade cookware)

- We are a producer-only market and everything that you sell must be handmade by you. Items must be original, of a unique concept or design, and must not use mass-produced or stock imagery. Any illustrations or photos used must be your own original design. 

- The handcrafted component of your work must dominate any commercial components used, and the commercial components must be transformed in a way that makes the work unique.

- 50% of your items must be priced under $50. Please consider this guideline carefully before applying with the VFM. It has been our experience that artisans with the majority of their product over this price point do not do well at our markets and end up being disappointed as a result.

WHAT IS THE APPLICATION/JURY PROCESS?

As part of the application process, you must submit a link to your website or social media, as well as a description of your work so that we can consider you for an in-office jury in this form. 

If your product seems like a good fit for our markets we will invite you to a craft jury. 

If selected to jury, you will be asked to submit your items to be judged on the quality of their design, originality, construction, presentation and local components. We want to see your very best work! You will be asked to bring your items to our office.

We require all craft vendors to pass a craft jury before inviting you to apply. 

We look forward to receiving your application!
