Product Categories *
Please select all categories that apply to the products you wish to exhibit at the market.
Please include ALL products to be exhibited and sold at the Farmers' Market. 2) Approved Vendors are only permitted to sell approved items listed on their Description of Goods to be Sold. Any changes or additions to products must be submitted and approved by the Chamber Market Manager in advance of the Market. Used or flea sale items are prohibited. 3) All food products must be properly labelled to include a list of ingredients and vendor contact information that must operate in compliance with ALL Alberta Health rules and regulations. 4) The Fort Saskatchewan & District Chamber of Commerce Farmers’ Market keeps records of product types while using a quota system as we accept vendors into the market which helps curate a balanced, diverse, and successful Market ensuring adequate market share to vendors. We do not offer exclusivity of any product. We endeavor to manage varying product competition through strategic placement.
Are the Goods and Products listed above homemade, home-baked, handcrafted, or home grown in Alberta by the vendor, family member, or an employer? *
The Fort Saskatchewan Farmers' Market is an Accredited Alberta Sunnygirl Approved Farmers' Market. Which means the market must adhere to the 80/20 rule which requires a minimum of 80% of the Market to have vendors that have either made, baked or grown their products in Alberta. Vendors that meet this requirement will receive preference. The other 20% of Vendors can be made up of out-of-province vendors, resellers or vendors selling commercially available products. A limited number of commercial products will be accepted into the market and will depend on the current product mix at the discretion of the Market Manager.

Are you a returning vendor to the Fort Saskatchewan Farmers' Markets? *
Returning vendors have first right of refusal for their previous stalls until March 14, 2023. After that, applications will be reviewed in the order that they are received. We will do our very best at accommodating previous stall requests, but it is NOT guaranteed. *if you have missed the 2022 season, but have attended in previous years, you are still encouraged to mark that you are a returning vendor.
Returning vendors requesting the same booth as previous years (whose applications are received before March 15, 2023) will be given first right of refusal, then we will do our best to accommodate booth requests in the order that they are received starting with return vendors. Please specify any booth considerations that will help the market manager in designating booths.
What is your booth preference? *
There are a limited number of stalls in each of these categories. We will try to honour preferences, but they are not guaranteed. Center Circle, Walkway, and Legacy Lane stalls are the size of a single parking space (fits a 10x10 tent); any vendor/truck requiring a larger space must request Legacy Lane-*Food Truck Accommodation, unless they are a vendor booking multiple adjacent booths for tents. A map of the Farmers' Market layout can be found on our website.
