Become a GreenMarket Vendor

All prospective vendors must first create an account in our online registration system. Please note: If you have previously applied to be a vendor at The Gardens GreenMarket, you already have an account! You may send an email to recinfo@pbgfl.gov if you have having trouble accessing your account. Applications must have a valid email address on file as that will be the main communication source. The City charges a non-refundable $1 application fee. If a vendor is accepted into the market, the application fee will be applied to vendors’ account. 

All past vendors will need to resubmit an application for every market season. Electronic submission is required and does not guarantee a space into the market. Paper applications are not available.  If you need assistance with submitting an application or creating a household account, please ­contact the Burns Road Community Center at 561.630.1100 or recinfo@pbgfl.gov.

ACCEPTED VENDOR CLASSIFICATIONS

The Gardens GreenMarket strives to balance product type while staying true to the mission of a Farmer’s Market. Vendor classification will be assigned when applicants are approved by market management. Accepted vendor classifications, listed in order of priority, include:

  • Farm and Agriculture Vendor
  • Non-Farm and Value-Added Food Vendor
  • Prepared Concessions Vendor
  • Artisan/Handmade Goods Vendor
  • Community Group Vendor

The classifications and definitions of accepted vendors and examples of approved product(s) to be sold at the market are listed under the section titled, ‘Accepted Vendor Classification & Jury Info’.

PROSPECTIVE VENDOR APPROVAL

All vendors are required to list their primary products (main product line) and secondary products on the vendor application. Only products listed on the application and approved may be sold. If a vendor wishes to add product(s) after their application has been approved, the vendor must contact the Market Management at recinfo@pbgfl.gov. This type of request shall be limited to one time per vendor throughout the Market season and may be subjected to additional fees if vendor classification changes.   

The City of Palm Beach Gardens has the right to prohibit the sale of any items not specifically listed and approved on the application, as well as prohibit the sale of any items not in the best interest of The Gardens GreenMarket. Vendors who attempt to sell items not approved will have to remove them from their booth immediately. Continued attempts to sell unapproved items will result in removal from the Market. 

PRODUCT EXCLUSIVITY

The Gardens GreenMarket does not extend exclusive rights to sell any one product. The balance between types of vendors while remaining a greenmarket is always a challenge.  It is also a challenge to balance similar types of products to prevent oversaturation and to ensure that a patron can find a diverse offering every Sunday. 

The Gardens GreenMarket management staff will determine when and where a product category is adequately represented. If this determination is made, then vendors selling similar products will attend the GreenMarket on a rotating schedule. The product mix at The Gardens GreenMarket, as well as customer demand, will serve as important factors in determining how many vendors will be allowed to sell the same or similar item(s).
