Our general policy regarding suitability of products: Our markets provide the local community access to locally farmed, harvested and produced agricultural goods and specialty foods. Artisan and household goods locally handmade largely with agricultural items will be considered. Our markets do not include the sale of clothing, used goods, mass produced goods, vintage goods or antiques. Priority will be given to vendor applications of those who sell food and agricultural products; however, a small number of high quality, handmade art/craft vendors will be selected to round out the market offerings. MLM company representatives (LuLaRoe, Scentsy, etc) and mass produced items will not be considered at any of the markets.

***Please note that for all markets, we require that all vendors carry commercial liability insurance. Also, vendors at all NORFOLK markets must also obtain a $50 Norfolk Special Event Business License after acceptance to the market.***
