Regular Weekly Farmers Market: April 19 through November 15, Wednesdays, 4:00-7:00pm
Welcome to our Tenth Season!
We are a local, producer-only market, which means each vendor must be the original grower, creator, maker, or builder of whatever they sell. No applications will be accepted from resellers, direct marketers, or service providers (including multi-level marketing businesses, roofing, real estate, etc.), accept on special nights where we feature small, local service businesses.
The BFM is primarily a local market, giving priority first to producers in Blythewood and Ridgeway, then to surrounding areas. Priority is also given to businesses selling "groceries" (pickles, grains, sauces, etc). Application acceptance may also depend on demand for the products sold, so we may put you on a wait-list if there are already sufficient vendors selling your product. Sellers are encouraged to find how they fit together within the market family, and how they can offer variety to our guests.
A few Rules:
