VENDOR APPLICATION FORM - 2024 SEASON
The Bouctouche Farmers’ Market is excited to start a new season and will be operating the regular season from mid-May to mid-October, followed by the Fall Markets in October and November and the Christmas Market in December 2024.

We are seeking quality vendors committed for the full season.
Instructions
Please read the Vendor application form and the Vendor Handbook of Rules and Regulations very carefully to understand the mandate and principles of the Market.

Locally produced, locally-sourced and homemade products (Make it, Bake it, Grow it)

Note: NO reselling of products or direct selling of network marketing products.


PURPOSE OF THE MARKET:

The purpose of the Bouctouche Farmers’ Market (BFM) is to offer a dynamic and community-oriented market that presents a variety of high quality locally produced farm products, prepared foods and handcrafted arts & crafts. Building on the principles of Good, Clean and Fair, BFM is the 1st Slow Food Earth Market in Canada and fosters a positive environment that promotes local food and enhances education and awareness around food security for residents and visitors to the Kent region.  

ELIGIBLE VENDORS: Locally produced, locally-sourced and homemade products (Make it, Bake it, Grow it !)                                                                                                        
The Bouctouche Farmers’ Market is for the sale of locally grown, produced, processed, baked and crafted products from approved growers, producers, processors and individuals, whose name, address and signature appear on an approved vendor application. The BFM is therefore open strictly to local and bona fide producer-vendors who make what they sell.  

Arts and Crafts shall be handmade by the vendor using as much local material as possible and his/her own skill, artistry and training to produce a new, unique and original product appropriate for the farmers’ market. Arts & crafts products may be reviewed by a jury to ensure that they are in fact produced as indicated on the application form, that they are of high quality and that they are compatible with other products sold at the market.

Please note: NO reselling of products or direct selling of network marketing products.

NEW: INTEREST CHARGES
It is important that kiosk fees be paid upon receiving the invoice at the beginning of the month. It is time-consuming for the Market Manager and costly in terms of accounting services to be doing statements and reminders for unpaid balances. Therefore, starting in 2024, vendors will be charged 2.5% interest on the balance of their invoice at the end of the month if it is not paid in full.
