Participation
Participation is open to growers, harvesters, bakers, makers of prepared food, and artisans (hereafter, “the vendors”) within a 125 mile radius of the market. The Market strives to be a producers-only market, and except as noted below, vendors must participate in production of the product they sell. Vendor Eligiblity: The Covington Farmers Market is primarily a producer-only market. A producer is defined as the person who grows or makes the product and may also include the producer’s immediate family, partners, and/or employees. The market manager may, in his/her discretion, permit collaborative sales where such selling arrangement benefits the market. Collaborative sales are those in which someone other than a producer sells products on behalf of one or more producers. In any collaborative selling arrangement, the producer and the products must otherwise satisfy the rules of the market. The Covington Farmers Market gives preference first to 100 percent grower/producer goods and second, to collaborative sales arrangements as described above. Farmers and food producers are given priority over artisans at the Market.
