Q. When does the market operate?

Our regular Summer-Fall Season operates 10 am to 1 pm

 

Q. What products can I sell at the market?

Our biggest requirement is that everything be made, baked, grown or produced locally.
All products will be reviewed by our selection committee to determine eligibility. 

 

Q. What are the health regulations regarding the production/selling of food products at the market?

Guidelines from Interior Health are posted on our website here >>> . Please read these over very carefully.

Vendors of higher risk foods (defined in guidelines) must contact the local Interior Health Authority –phone 250.420.2220 - to submit an application and be approved prior to selling at a market. Vendors of lower risk foods (defined in guidelines), are not required to submit an application. It is the vendor's and the market manager’s responsibility to ensure that all lower risk foods in fact meet the definition as per Interior Health. 

​

Q. Do I need Insurance?
Yes, all vendors require liability insurance of at least 2 Mil. City of Cranbrook and Cranbrook Farmers Market MUST be named insured.  There is a very reasonable insurance package available through Western Financial Group or Duuo for Farmers Market Vendors. You must be a member of BC Association of Farmers Markets to access this insurance.

Q. What do I need to bring? 

Everything that you will require for your display, including product, tables, display items, signage, float, a tent, and any necessary permits (food producers) etc. We provide a 10 x 10’ empty space for you to fill. Attractive, well laid out products at an inviting market stall are the best way to invite people to shop. 

 

Q. Do I need a tent?

A tent is not necessary, but can be nice to have, as protection from the elements – sun, rain, etc. However, the other element is wind, and if you choose to use a tent, you MUST have weights/tie-downs (Minimum 25 lbs per leg) to secure the tent in case of wind gusts.
