The Application Process

Vendors interested in applying to the Sioux City Farmers Market must apply online. Applications will not be accepted by mail or email.

The application process opens each market year on the last Sunday of January. Full-Season Vendor membership applications must be submitted no later than the last Sunday in March. Daily Vendor applications will be accepted throughout the season but are approved at the discretion of the Market Manager based on market needs.

Applications will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis. Previous-year vendors will have two weeks from the application opening date to apply and receive priority consideration within their product category.

  4. Submit Payment
    Vendors must pay their membership fees in full within seven (7) days of receiving the acceptance email. If payment is not received within this timeframe, the Market Manager may proceed with reviewing other applications within the same category.
