Classes of Vendors and How to Become a Vendor

There are three classes of vendor:

  • Grower / Producer
  • Baker
  • Artisan/Crafter.

If you are a grower of vegetables, fruit, plants, herbs, a producer of eggs or dairy product, grain, flour, or a breeder of livestock, poultry or fish, there is a good chance we have a stall for you.

The Barrie Farmers' Market works on a system of ratios based on the number of growers/producers. The more growers/producers, the more baked goods and crafts vendors are permitted.

The Barrie Farmers' Market is open to vendors who live or operate their business in Simcoe County. A few exceptions are permitted on a case by case basis to offer customers Ontario grown vegetables, fruit and other produce that cannot be grown in the County.

The Application Process
Vendors wishing to apply may contact the market manager by email or in person during market hours on Saturday to obtain an application form. Once the market manager has received your completed application, the board of directors will take it under review for approval.

Visiting Non-Profit Vendors Are Also Welcome
Registered non-profit and charitable organizations wishing to set up a booth at the BFM may apply to the market manager with a requested date. There is limited availability and organizations are asked to inquire at least two weeks in advance with a description of what will be promoted or sold. Once approved, you will need to bring the following for your stall: folding table, chair, banner with your name or the name of your organization (and if outdoors: umbrella, tarpaulin or pavilion tent for weather protection and a rain coat).

Please note: The Barrie Farmers’ Market is currently at capacity in the food/baker and artist/artisan/crafter categories, and we are not accepting applications at this time. Thanks for your interest in BFM.
