What products can I sell?

Eastern Market is a Farmer's market, therefore our first priority is food. Our basic requirement for all products is that you sell only what you produce. Many of our customers come to this market because it is a local, producers market.

We also host local artists on Artist Second Saturdays and at our monthly festivals, and hold Free Concerts at the Market on Saturdays from 11-1. Please check back at this site regularly to find updates on vendors, events, and Saturday musicians.
