Why Vend With Rocky Butte Farmers Market?
We are a small, newer neighborhood market with so much heart! We pride ourselves on the culture of community and inclusiveness we’ve created and provide in this space. We have a passion for supporting new and underrepresented vendors, happily providing a space that encourages growth.
Too small to commit to a full booth? Our Community Table option covers the insurance, staffing, and equipment to sell your products at our market!
We kindly invite vendors new and experienced to consider joining us! Interested but need more information? Is there a barrier to our market that is keeping you from applying? Email us at managers@rockybuttemarket.com so we can help!
Booth Fees and Requirements:
It's important to us to keep our barriers to entry low! For that reason, we do our best to keep booth fees minimal, and are always happy to work with you if our fees don't fit your budget.
Standard Booth Fees:
Farmers - $35
Non-Farmers - $45
Served Food - $55
Fees are for a standard 10'x10' booth and paid per week. There is a discount for multiple booths if you’re in your first five years of operating, and vendors are to supply all of their own equipment.
SNAP-Eligible and/or Black, Indigenous, or Person of Color-owned Discount:
Rocky Butte Farmers Market is piloting a new program to support vendors who are underrepresented in the agricultural industry. Those owners who identify as BIPOC or who receive SNAP benefits themselves may pay a daily market fee of 10% of their gross sales that day. If 10% of sales surpasses the standard booth fee, they will only pay the standard booth fee.
We require that all vendors obtain insurance. To streamline the process, we've partnered with Veracity insurance to provide a dashboard where vendors can see FLIP or ACT coverage details and purchase a policy. If purchased through these links, RBFM's information and required insurance limits will be automatically filled in and sent to us. You can review the specific coverage details for FLIP here and for ACT here, or click the icons below to apply for insurance.
Depending on the type of product you are selling, there may be other requirements such as various licenses, preparation standards, or further documentation.
For more information about fees and requirements, please refer to our Vendor Handbook.

Step 1: learn the market rules
Potential vendors should familiarize themselves with our Vendor Handbook. When applying to become a vendor, you will be agreeing to abide by the rules and procedures described in this document.
Step 2: Submit Your Application
Vendor Applications are now open! We will accept applications on a rolling basis until our market is full.
We use Marketspread, also known as Farmspread, to manage our vendor application process, day of market operations, and invoicing. In order to apply for our market, you will be required to create an account and establish a profile. Here are some tips and tricks for setting up your profile on Marketspread.
If you have any questions or issues that come up during the application process, please reach out to us immediately. We strive to eliminate barriers to our market so that new and underrepresented vendors can continue to participate!
Step 3: Approval & Additional Requirements
Once your application has been submitted, vendors can expect to hear back on acceptance within 3 weeks or sooner. We may also reach out to seek clarification on your application.
Once accepted, you will receive an email from the market manager with any additional documentation needed prior to the start of the market. Proof of insurance will be required at this time.
Step 4: Attend New Vendor Orientation
For the Summer 2025 season, new to RBFM vendors will need to attend an orientation held in person. We expect to schedule this orientation for early-mid spring. You will receive an email invite when it is scheduled!
