The Lakes Region Farmers Market in Poultney, Vermont

2014 Application for Summer Market and Membership

2014 Special Shows Application

Welcome to our second year as The Lakes Region Farmers Market.

I amexcited to introduce a couple of new shows for this year.

For many years, over 10,the Market hasresisted raising fees, but rising costs of rental space and advertising have finally forced us to raise them in order to continue to provide quality venues and the amount of advertising you have all come to expect.

Ihope you will take advantage of these new opportunities and that they will give you, as vendors,additional options for making more income for yourselves and your families in the coming year.

Thanks,

Jamie Condrill, Show Manager

Anyone who wishes to vend at the Summer Market and/or the Special shows must pay an annual membership fee of $15.00 due by May 16, 2014 if a returning vendor.
