How
to reserve
a
Sales Space
at
any HAFM Market.
Certified
Producers (fresh fruits, vegetables, raw nuts, bee products, cut flowers,
nursery stock, cheese, fresh butchered meats) for our "Certified Areas:"
-
You
must possess a current Certified Producer's Certificate issued by your
County Agricultural Commissioner. Every county in the state has such an
office, and we accept only produce grown in California.
-
Phone
1-866-GOOD-VEG toll-free and leave your address (either FAX or "snail mail"),
and we will send our Application Form to you. Or just fill it out and submit
it right from this website (see below).
-
Send
the Application Form back to us with all relevant parts filled out, as
well as copies of other necessary documents, and we will be in touch with
you.
Non-agricultural
Producers (pre-packaged/processed/food vendors) for our "Non-Ag Areas:"
-
You
must prepare your food items in a Health Department-approved site - usually
a church or restaurant kitchen - and not in a private home. Once you have
located such a facility, you must get written permission from its owner
to prepare your food there.
-
Phone
1-866-GOOD-VEG toll-free and leave your address (either FAX or "snail mail"),
and we will send our Application Form to you. Or just fill it out and submit
it right from this website (see below).
-
Send
the Application Form back to us with all relevant parts filled out and
we will be in touch with you.
-
You
must then talk to us directly about whether we both want and have room
for you in any of our markets.
-
If
we are ready for you, we will communicate this both to you and the appropriate
Health Department office.
-
Then
and only then (when #5 is fulfilled) do you pay your money to procure a
"site-specific" Health Permit for each appropriate farmers' market sales
location.
-
Finally,
you and the HAFM Market Manager will contact one another to arrange a date
for your first appearance in a particular market.
Hot
food vendors for our "Non-Ag Areas:"
-
Please
contact Market Manager Dale Whitney directly at the toll-free number 866-GOOD-VEG
to discuss hot food opportunities in our markets. Each market is different,
but do consider that the primary sellers at all HAFM markets are the FARMERS
after whom the markets are named, not Non-Ag food vendors of any kind.
This means that we do not allocate very much market space to food vendors,
nor do we provide a 3-compartment sink like some markets do.
FOR
MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE CALL 1-866-GOOD-VEG.
