Market Vendor Information
Guidelines
CitySeed's mission is to: Engage the community in growing a local, equitable food system that promotes economic development, community development and sustainable agriculture. CitySeed has drawn up a list of market guidelines to ensure the market serves to fulfill this mission. Below please find the four most important guidelines (there are additional guidelines that relate to value-added agricultural products, baked goods, prepared foods, fish, dairy, etc.) Please read through these four guidelines carefully to ensure you are committed to meeting these basic market requirements before requesting the application packet. As part of the application, you would be asked to sign an agreement to abide by the full set of market guidelines.
- Connecticut Grown: All produce sold at the market must be grown in Connecticut.
- Producers only/Sell what you grow: City Farmers' Markets are "Producer Only" markets at which farmers sell what they grow and other vendors sell what they themselves have produced. At least one person who is directly involved with production must attend every market, that is, someone who works on the farm or in the bakery.
- Liability Insurance is required.
- WIC Certification is required for those who are eligible.
