Annapolis Royal Farmers & Traders Market Application Information

The market is made up of several vendor types. The top two categories are Permanent Vendors and Casual Vendors. Permanent Vendors have one set spot and are guaranteed attendance every market day of the season. Casual vendors fill in when permanent vendors are absent. There are typically several absences each market day of the season for casuals. Casuals are offered spots on a first come, first served basis.

Typically Casual vendors can become Permanent vendors when a Permanent vendor retires/moves on or as more spaces become available.

ARFTM Market Vendor Categories:

  1. Primary Producers: You grow, raise or harvest what you sell (produce, animals for meat, plants, etc...)

  2. Secondary Producers: You make goods for consumption from primarily purchased raw materials (bakery, other food). You do not relabel or re-package products.

  3. Artisan/Crafters: You make things from purchased goods. You may be a primary or secondary producer depending on if you grow or harvest what you use to create the goods you sell (example: soap made with elements you grow)

  4. Traders: A vendor that re-sells products. These vendors must bring something unique to the market, as trader spots are very limited (example: fish-monger. Please note: we do not accept applications for MLM resellers)

  5. Non-Profit/Community: A space is available for local organizations and non-profit each week. These organizations are exempt from standard table fees, but may not sell items that directly compete with items being sold by market vendors.
