Become a Vendor
We are proud to have a diverse group of vendors (artisans, growers, specialty food purveyors and community groups) who form the backbone of our Market. Although our mission focuses on local growers to provide a direct source of fresh, local and nutritious food for families in St. Helena and the surrounding, we are always looking for unique food and artisan products for our community to enjoy.
​
Since its’ beginning, SHFM’s Board of Directors (BOD) has created Rules & Regulations to ensure the Market begins and ends safely and harmoniously. The BOD emphasizes that all required documents that pertain to your category of participation (see the checklist that follows) are received. Admission to the Market is reserved for those entities who provide all the necessary application documents, including the required proof of insurance, so that our patrons can be confident in the quality of all the Market has to offer.
