Market Standards

*** Summer Market Fees ***
Groups are required to pay a table fee. Fees allow us to pay for market insurance, grounds maintenance, market management, printing costs, and publicity. Groups are allowed to come up to once a month.

*** Setting up at Market ***
Please bring your own tables, chairs, and signage. There is limited space at the market and so space is at a premium. The Farm Fresh RI market manager will show you your designated spot to set up.

*** Farm Fresh RI Market Requirements ***
Our goal is to foster markets with a diversity of locally grown and produced foods that are accessible to all segments of the population and unrivaled in quality and freshness. Failure to comply with the following requirements degrades the market and will jeopardize participation.

*** Civic groups can: ***
• Set up a table display and hand out literature
• Sell items related to your group’s mission that do not interfere with other vendors (provide RI Sales Tax Permit where applicable)
• Register people to vote
• Register people for SNAP, WIC, or other government aid programs

*** Civic groups can NOT: ***
• Solicit aggressively: no cornering customers, no shouting, no following customers beyond your table
• Sell food
• Campaign for political candidates

*** Criteria We Consider ***
Your organization should be based in Rhode Island and its mission must focus on food, health, the environment, rural communities, cities, or public spaces. Consideration will be given to how the civic group relates to our mission and our goals for a given market and the relationship of the civic group to the neighborhood and community of the market. Acceptance into the market is at the discretion of Farm Fresh Rhode Island.

 Civic groups are expected to provide their own equipment. A table is required. Electricity will most likely not be available for your use. The market manager will determine the location of a civic group at the market.

 The needs of our farm and food vendors take precedence over the needs of civic groups at all times. Farm Fresh RI can approve an application for an informational display but not for sales, if it potentially interferes with vendor sales.

 An application to attend a market(s) must be received two (2) days in advance of the market(s). A Farm Fresh RI staff member will promptly follow up with the civic group about the request.

We accept civic group applications on a rolling basis. Please direct any questions to markets@farmfreshri.org. We’ll get back to you soon!
