We accept applications annually from farmers and producers selling items that feature agricultural products grown within 200 miles of Washington, DC.
Thank you for your interest in applying to our markets! FRESHFARM operates producer-only farmers markets and requires that farmers grow their products locally and producers source as many of their ingredients as possible locally.
Applications for the 2024 Main Season are now closed. We recommend that you read over our FRESHFARM Market Rules and Regulations 2023 to gain a better understanding of the requirements to be a vendor and what we expect at market.

Applicant Eligibility
Producer-Only Requirement
All businesses selling at FRESHFARM Markets must exclusively sell products that they have grown or produced. Absolutely NO resales or third-party sales are allowed.
Local Requirement
FRESHFARM works to support local agriculture and improve the quality of life in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Participation in the farmers markets is only for regional farmers who sell what they grow, raise or produce on their farm, and for local producers who make products featuring agricultural ingredients sourced from Mid-Atlantic farms, preferably within a 200-mile radius of Washington, DC.
FRESHFARM gives strong preference to producers and concessionaires who maximize the use of local ingredients (produce, meat, dairy, eggs, grains, etc.) in the value-added foods sold at market.
For more information about our market operations please read our Rules and Regulations & Product Guidelines.
FRESHFARM is committed to diversity and building an equitable and inclusive marketplace for people of all backgrounds and experiences. We encourage members of traditionally underrepresented groups to apply to sell at market, including people of color, LGBTQ+ people, veterans, and people with disabilities. We do not discriminate and will take affirmative action measures to prevent discrimination against any vendor or applicant on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, religion, creed, disability, or veteran status.
