Need to know Information

The Youth Market is intended for young sellers, up to age 18. All products must be made, baked, or grown by the applicant and booth attendant.

For this youth portion of our regular Downtown Farmers Market, we are creating space for additional youth market stalls in Ross St. Plaza. Regular vendors with youth in their family can use their existing booth to allow their youth to sell from.

Applicants under age 15 must be accompanied by an adult during the set-up, duration of market hours, and take-down of tents and tables.
The Market will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Ross Street Plaza on Saturday, September 12, 2026.
Vendors must have stalls up and ready by 8:45 am. If you know you will be late, please text the market manager and let her know. Vendors will not take down or pack up prior to 1 pm.
After unloading, vendors/adult companions are required to park their cars across at the SASCU parking lot.
All vendors must supply their own tables and chairs and are responsible for creating a safe environment. If the vendor is using a full vendor space, it will accommodate a 10' by 10' canopy that the vendor must provide..
Canopies must be weighted down with 20 lb. weights.
Vendors are responsible for always keeping their stall space and surrounding area tidy, and for clearing up any litter from around their stall at the end of each market. We will have composting and recycling containers and ask that food is sold in compostable or recyclable containers.
The Market Manager will use his/her discretion to balance the types of products and services at the Market and give preference to local (Shuswap) vendors.

Booking Policy

In the event that too many applications are received for the limited space we have, priority will be given by application / payment date.

General Vendor Rules

All vendors are expected to treat each other and customers with courtesy and to work together in a spirit of cooperation and respect.
Notice of cancellation of a reserved space must be received by the manager by 5 p.m. Thursday. Except in the case of an emergency occurring after that time, a vendor with a reserved space will be charged for that day.
The Farmers Market will have liability insurance to cover the hours of the market for general site liabilities but will not accept responsibility for the negligence of individual stallholders or their products.
The Market Manager may prohibit any person from renting stall space, request removal of product that falls outside the policies of the Market and may require persons to leave the Market if they fail to abide by the policies of the Market or the direction of the Market Manager.

Farm Vendors

All agricultural products must be locally produced. Preference will be given to those falling within North & South Shuswap, Salmon Arm, Enderby, and Sicamous.
Outside growers will be considered if local growers are not available.
Growers must sell only their own farm products. However, with the Manager’s permission, growers may sell a limited number of products from a local farm.
All products for sale, including value-added products, must meet Interior Health regulations. It is the responsibility of individual vendors to understand these regulations.
Dumping of products below fair market value is not permitted. Fair market value will be determined by the average pricing of surrounding vendors plus or minus 15%.

Artisan Vendors

All artisan creations must be produced from original materials by the seller. No assembled items, kits, or resale items are permitted.
All products must be of original, unique work or design, and be of acceptable quality standards. Shuswap Food Action Society reserves the right to regulate the type and nature of products offered for sale and display, in order to maintain the diversity and quality of the market.
