Are you interested in becoming a vendor at the Eagle Mountain Farmers Market? Well, you’ve come to the right place. Here is what you need to do! Please notice all returning vendors must still fill out a new application and pay an application fee. We must pay for the software every year. Also note, we are using a new software this year that will provide us a few benefits we didn’t have before.
Steps To Become A Vendor
Step 1: Read through the Vendor's Handbook
Step 2: Apply
Create an account through Manage My Market and Pay the $25 non-refundable annual application fee. Obtain and upload your documents if needed.
Step 3: Get Ready For The Market
In your Market Spread account, make sure you fill out the dates you plan to attend the market. We will assign booths and send out invoices to those who are listed in their calendar as attending that week.
Whether you are a commercial farmer, market gardener, or backyard homesteader, you are the most important part of our market. All products sold are as is and not added-value products, meaning you can’t add to or prepare them in anyway that is different than they were when harvested. This category includes cut flowers, produce, honey, meat (frozen), or eggs. If you want to change or add to the food, then you would fall under another category of Food Artisan.
Fee for Farmers: FREE!!!
- Home Consumption and Homemade Food Product Vendor
The Home Consumption and Homemade Food Act was passed in 2018 by the State of Utah. This bill allows the sale of food produced by home-based producers to the public without a license or commercial or inspected kitchen. It is important you understand this law and what is required to be able to sell your food to the public and what is and what is not allowed to be sold. You may not sell any food that is deemed to be a potentially hazardous food at the market, so read carefully.
You will also be required to have labeling that complies with the law, so make sure you understand this regulation before you apply to be a vendor of your homemade food products. If you don’t know if a food you want to make is permitted in this category, please ask.
The bill can be found here. https://le.utah.gov/xcode/Title4/Chapter5A/C4-5a_2018050820180508.pdf
As a compliment to this law, the MicroEnterprise Home Kitchen Act was passed in 2021 that expands what you are able to sell straight to consumer. With this law there are permit and inspection requirements. Please review requirements here:

You will have to provide your own booth structures including tables, chairs, awning, etc. You are required to have at least a 25 lb weight secured to each corner of your awnings (we have a lot of wind in Eagle Mountain). We do not provide electricity, so if you need it, you will have to supply it. Generators will be allowed as long as they are not too noisy. Please let us know if you will be wanting to do that.
You will not be able to park right by your booth. You will need to plan on wagons or dollies to bring your items to your booth. You can park close to the path to unload but then you will be required to move your vehicle to designated parking lot. You are required to pack out everything that you take in, we are not going to clean up after you.
