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 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.
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!
