Market Ready
Required Review Before Your First Market
A seasonal review to ensure every vendor is aligned with current Market expectations, procedures, and standards.
Market Ready is required for all vendors each season before participating at Old Town Farm & Art Market. It brings together the information vendors need to understand how the Market operates today and helps create a consistent, professional experience for vendors, customers, and staff.
✅ Note: Market Ready must be completed before your first Market Day and no later than 5:00 PM on the Wednesday prior to your first scheduled Market. Vendors who have not completed Market Ready by this deadline will not be assigned a stall for that Saturday.
Preparing to be Market Ready
Over the years, we’ve learned a simple truth: submitting an application is only the first step.
Market day success depends on understanding how the Market operates today, not how it operated in the past, not how other markets operate, and not how we wish it operated.
Market Ready replaces repetitive emails, long rule documents, and Spring Vendor Meetings with a simple, review process that:
Clarifies current Market day procedures
Reduces confusion and last minute issues
Protects vendors, customers, and the Market
Saves time for everyone in the long run
This isn’t about adding more work. It’s about simplifying how we all stay aligned.
Market Ready is required for:
All new vendors before their first Market day
All returning vendors at the start of each season
Any vendor that receives a warning notice throughout the season
Vendors are responsible for ensuring that employees, family members, and representatives working for their business at the Market also understand these expectations.
