be a vendor or performer
Welcome to Idaho's only free, no RSVP required market.
We want you to participate as a vendor at the Latah Farmers Market, and we have made it as easy as possible to vend at the market. Spaces at the market are free, and you are welcome to be a vendor any weekend that works for you. You must follow the farmers market rules (click above), sign a form, and show up to market before 4 PM (preferably earlier) on Saturdays. It is wise to apply to be a vendor (click above) since I then will add you to the e-mail list. No need to apply to be a vendor if you are already on the vendor email list.

dates and season
The Latah Farmers Market in the Troy City Park opens on Saturday, June 6th and runs from 4:30 PM through 7:30 PM each Saturday through October 10th, 2026. The market will be closed on Troy Old Timers Days on the second weekend in July.
cost
For the year 2026 all vendor fees are free. You can attend a single market or multiple markets at no cost to you. However, it costs thousands of dollars to run a farmers market each year, and the market is for people who are givers rather than takers. Most of the costs of running the market are borne by the market manager. A good, suggested donation would be 2% of sales. If you don't want to make a monetary donation, you can also donate some of your leftover items to the market manager or volunteer. All proceeds from donations and sponsorships will be used to offset expenses related to insurance and administrative costs, advertising, marketing, promotion, events, and community outreach. More money for advertising means more customers and more money for you.

If you are an Idaho resident and make less than 5000 dollars in sales per year, you are a small seller and do not need to remit sales tax, but you still must register.
- Choose the option for your situation: Option 1. I am not making taxable sales. Choose this option if you qualify for the small seller exemption (tax.idaho.gov/smallseller) or already have a temporary permit for your own sales. Option 2. I have a regular permit. Option 3. I need a temporary permit (non-Idaho residents without a regular permit).

- Check your email account (Inbox, Junk, and Spam folders) for further instructions and your tax permit proving you registered.
- If you have a regular seller permit, you still need to register for the events and bring your permit to market.

- Mandatory: Vendors selling products that were not produced or crafted by the vendor should call Jamin Smitchger at 509-979-2336 to briefly introduce themselves and explain what they are selling. Some items are not allowed at the market e.g. stolen copper wire, stuff you purchased at Target, and produce purchased at Walmart .
- Highly recommended. Apply to the market or send out an e-mail to [email protected] to get on the e-mail list.
