Farmers Market Vendor F.A.Q.
I’m Thinking About Becoming a Vendor…
Who sells at the Pearl Market?
We are primarily a Producers Market, meaning our vendors must grow, produce, harvest, and/or raise every product they sell at the market. Reselling is not allowed at our weekend market.
Ask us about our night markets where we accept a variety of vendor categories.
Do I need to be in San Antonio to sell at the Market?
To promote sustainability and the local food movement, your farm, ranch, or business must be located within a 150 mile radius of San Antonio, TX.
Must I be present at the Market each week?
We are a year-round market and our vendors must commit to weekly attendance.
Do I need a commercial kitchen to sell food products? Can I sell “cottage” products?
At this time all prepared food vendors must work out of a commercial kitchen facility. You must maintain and provide copies of required licenses, permits, and insurance to maintain the integrity of our market. A cottage food production operation is defined as an individual, operating out of the individual’s home.
Do I need to only sell food? What if I sell non-edible products?
The Pearl Weekend Markets focuses on agricultural and culinary products. At this time the we do not accept applications for non-edible products, such as (but not limited to): jewelry, bath and body products, paintings, t-shirts, purses, candles, and birdhouses. Additionally, we do not accept applications for those interested in “tabling” to promote other businesses or events. Ask us about our Seasonal Night Markets on Social Media!
What kind of vendors are you looking for?
