how do I decide what category my products are in?
If you’re unsure whether your product falls into the agriculture/food category or the craft category, consider the following questions:

- Is the product perishable? If yes, agricultural or consumable, if no, craft
- Is the product edible? If yes, agricultural or consumable, if no, craft
- Will buyers use up the product before the next market? If yes, agricultural or consumable, if no, craft
can I hold a fundraiser at the farmers market?
Yes, qualifying non-profits can apply to have a FREE 10'x10' booth at the market. They are welcome to sell items as fundraisers, but any non-profit selling merchandise, must have a ST-124 Sales Tax form on file.
can I have a booth representing a political cause?
In order to maintain the Market's focus on local businesses and organizations, national political groups, or groups representing national political issues are generally discouraged from participating as vendors in the market. Local Latah County causes and groups are welcome to apply.
can my band play at the market?
Musicians, artists, dancers, and performers who wish to perform at the market should fill out a performer application to apply. We have room for one performing act per market.
