Why our market?
 Booking a stall at our farmers market is more than just a sales opportunity, it’s a chance to be part of a vibrant, all-day community event that draws a loyal and growing crowd. Our covered stalls, set within barns, provide ideal protection from Florida’s unpredictable weather, ensuring your products and setup stay safe and dry rain or shine. But what truly sets our market apart is the experience we offer guests: from engaging farm activities and live music to a welcoming bar area, visitors have plenty of reasons to stay, explore, and shop throughout the day. This lively, family-friendly atmosphere means more foot traffic, longer customer interactions, and increased sales potential for you as a vendor.

The full application process typically takes 1-2 weeks. All applications have to go through our market manager for initial approval first, and then it typically takes at least a week for us to check off all required documentation.
Absolutely not! If you show up to the market without a booking, you will be turned away at the door, and your ability to participate in the Hobe Sound Farmers Market may be revoked. Unless you have some form of written communication between yourself and the market manager, you are only allowed to attend the market on a date you have a booked stall for.
No. We need time to go through each application thouroughly. We also do not “rush” applications for last-second applicants.
It is typically safe to assume that from the date you first submit your application, it will be at least 2 weeks before you are able to attend a market.

Yes, insurance is needed for all vendors. Most small businesses or entrepreneurs hold a commercial general liability policy for their business.
If you do not have a policy, you will have to acquire one to attend. There are a number of companies that provide extremely affordable insurance for farmers market vendors.
If you have any additional questions, please reach out to a member of our market staff.
You can attend any day you would like! Once accepted, you will be invited to our Vendor Portal, where we handle bookings.
Each barn has numbered stalls. You will be able to review the availability of each date in the Vendor Portal and book any open stall you see.
Our market currently has three “seasons”:
- Spring – January through May
- Summer – June through August (the hot months!)
- Fall – September through December
We open booking for each season all at once, and stalls are first-come first-serve! We send out email communications to let everyone know when each season opens.
Barn C is our food barn, which we try to restrict for food only. If you are not a food vendor, you will be moved out of the C Barn.
Yes, you can! We have a program called the “reserved” program, which we offer to vendors who are looking to establish roots at our market. If you are looking to join our market’s reserved program, please speak to a member of the market team.
Vendors that have an outside stall (a stall on the side of the barn closest to the road) will be allowed one parking space per stall. Unfortunately, our pathways are too narrow for everyone to have a spot. This could become a problem if there was a fire or other emergency and first responder vehicles cannot reach their destination.
Before 9am, however, you are welcome to bring a vehicle or two behind your stall to unload your goods, but they must be moved back out to the general parking lot for the market no later than 9am.
