The market’s insurance agency requires that all LFM farmers/vendors/artisans maintain a commercial general liability policy with a minimum of $1 million per occurrence and a $2 million aggregate limit. Additionally, the policy needs to list the Lexington Local Food Collaborative, Inc. dba Lexington Farmers’ Market as an additional insured. These limits are becoming the standard in the industry for insurers of farmers’ markets. Are you able to comply with this requirement? *
If accepted, may we post your name and website on the Lexington Farmers' Market website?  Reciprocal web links: LFM would like to help you promote your business and hopes that you will spread the word of your participation at the market as well.  Please initiate a link from your site to http://www.lexingtonfarmersmarket.org/. *
Please select the category which most closely describes your medium, and then furnish a detailed description of your art / craft and the technique used. *
Required
We would like to post a complete listing of our farmers, vendors and artisans with photos on the LFM website.  Please provide the text you would like us to use. Returning artisans should read their entry on our website. *
Has your work been featured at other events or Farmers’ Markets?  If so, where and when? *
What are the standard price points of your goods? *
What are your preferred dates for participation during the market season?  (Note: Every effort will be made to accommodate vendors' schedules - we respectfully request your flexibility.) *
If you do not have a website, please submit images of your work for review by the committee.  Your photos should represent your work in the most professional and artistic way possible.  Submissions may be sent electronically to adrian.leone@gmail.com.
Important:
All applications will be carefully reviewed by the LFM Artisans' Tent Committee.  Prospective participants will be evaluated on the basis of craftsmanship, creativity and overall presentation.  Artisans selected for participation will be invited to do so on a rotating basis throughout the season. CONTINUING THIS YEAR: we will have only 2 artisans per market, 1 each in our 2 artisans tents.  Every possible effort will be made to feature a complementary mix of media/goods at each market session, with scheduling managed by the Committee.

• Prior to participation all vendors will be required to sign and submit a liability waiver releasing LFM from responsibility for damages to property or personal injury that may occur during time spent on the market premises, as well as to review and sign off an acceptance of LFM Rules & Regulations.

• The cost for participation at each market session will be $35.00 per vendor, payable by check to the “Lexington Farmers’ Market”. Failure to submit payment as such following correspondence from the LFM Artisans’ Tent Committee will result in forfeiture of your space—a vendor from the waiting list will be placed in your spot.   Please note:  PAYMENT SCHEDULE:

Payment is due for dates between 5/28/24 and 8/1/24 NO LATER THAN May 1, 2024.
Payment is due for dates between 8/6/24 and 10/29/24 NO LATER THAN August 1, 2024.
