Applying ​to be an Ann Arbor Farmers​​ Market Vendor

Our 2026 vendor application is available here.
Ann Arbor Farmers Market welcomes farms, food and beverage producers, and non-food artisans to apply. All applicants must grow, produce, or make their products to be considered. All necessary licensing must be current and included with the application. We have very limited space for non-food artisans and value-added sweet treats, so those categories are very competitive. We give priority to vendors who will be with us regularly. We do not have a waitlist and do not take new vendors for market day cancellations. We especially encourage applications for these product categories: 
  • Fruit

  • Native Plants

  • Vegetables

  • Nuts

  • Plant-Based Prepared Food

The returning vendor application deadline is March 1. The new vendor application deadline is April 1. Prior to completing an application, please read the ​2026 Applicant FAQs. The FAQs contain important info about the application process, fees, and licensing requirements. Learn more about our policy for CBD Cannabis ​Products at the Market.

Market Office Demolition

In 2023, structural issues were identified in the pavement near the northeast corner of the Farmers Market office building. An investigation revealed significant foundation failure, compromising the safety and integrity of the structure for long-term use. To protect the health and safety of market staff, vendors, and the public, the decision was made to demolish the office building. The demolition was completed in July 2025.

While the demolition of the office building was unplanned, it has given us an unique opportunity to re-envision the Ann Arbor Farmers Market. In 2026, the City of Ann Arbor plans to embark on a market study, looking holistically at the site, and making decisions to support the continued vibrancy of our historic, 107-year old market. The study will rely on extensive community engagement, considering the needs and wants of market vendors, customers, neighbors, and everyone who loves the market! We have been rooted in the community since 1919 and hope this process can extend our longevity into the next century.

Public Market Advisory Commission

​The Public Market Advisory Commission (PMAC) serves in an advisory capacity for the benefit of the market. PMAC currently has 7 members, and is made up of three market vendors, two regular customers, one neighborhood representative, and one representative from any of the other categories. Commission meetings are held at 5:30 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month. All regular meetings and ​​work sessions are open to the public and will take place virtually in 2026 with the exception of up to four meetings that will take place in person on the dates chosen by PMAC members. The latest meeting agendas and minutes, as well as the video recordings of previous PMAC​ meetings, are all available online. ​​
