Be A Farmers Market Vendor

Join us for our 2025 Season!

Our market is growing – would you like to join us? If you have a local farm or food or artisan business, please consider applying to join the Lancaster Farmers Market. We have a dynamic, community-oriented farmers market with a wonderful group of dedicated customers. We host food trucks, community groups and children’s activities, and we even throw a great party a few times a year at the farmers market with our famous Market Bars!

As a vendor, you’ll benefit from the support of professional staff and the connection with our year round brick and mortar Keller Market House. And we accept SNAP/EBT benefits, Produce Perks, WIC & Senior Farmers Market Benefits on your behalf to drive your sales and make our market more welcoming. Our market is located right in the heart of downtown Lancaster, and the main season runs for 23 weeks from the first Saturday in May through the first Saturday in October.

Before You Apply: Vendor Checklist
