Market Focus

Our weekly markets are farmer-, food-, and food-adjacent–focused. As a semi-curated market, our priority is supporting the success of our existing vendors. We selectively add vendors who offer products that fill unmet needs or complement our current mix.

We are especially interested in:

• Farmers offering local grains, flours, and oils
• Mushrooms, sausages, cured meats, cheeses, and dairy
• Vendors offering locally made, value-added staples 
• Vendors offering ready-to-eat, non-carnival foods for on-site consumption
• 1–2 additional vegetable farmers

Vendor Fees and Policies

• Weekly Market Fee: $25 per market attended.
• Discounts:
  • 5% discount for quarterly prepayment
  • 20% discount for full-year prepayment
• Cancellation Fee: As a standard procedure, the DHA Farmers Market does not impose a cancellation fee. Vendors should make every effort to notify management by 5:00 PM on Thursday or Friday before the market, or on the morning of the market if unable to attend. 
• No-Show Fee: As a standard procedure, the DHA Farmers Market does not impose a No-Show fee. Vendors should make every effort to notify management by 5:00 PM on Thursday or Friday before the market, or on the morning of the market if unable to attend. 

Many thanks,
