Farmers market application
A farmers market application is where vendors tell you who they are and what they grow, and where you collect the logistics — stall size, days they want — so you can run a balanced market and a realistic schedule. Verification of permits and payment happens after you have seen the applications side by side.
The form beside this text is live. Fill it in and submit it — it validates exactly as it would for a real respondent, and saves nothing.
Product categories as checkboxes, not free text
A checkbox group listing your categories lets one vendor check multiple boxes and keeps your counts clean. Free text produces every vendor listing their offerings differently, which defeats the point of counting mix.
Stall size and days stay countable
Select fields for stall size and days of the week mean you can tally capacity (7 half-stalls, 3 full stalls) and build a schedule from the export without manual counting. Free text requires spreadsheet work you avoided with structured fields.
This one uses file uploads, which is a paid feature — you can build and edit it on the free plan, but saving it needs an upgrade.
No card required.

- Add a text field for business name and a checkbox group for product categories (produce, meat, dairy, baked goods, etc.).
- Add a long text field asking vendors to list what they grow or make.
- Add a radio group asking whether products are homegrown/handmade, and select fields for preferred stall size and days of the week.
- Add an optional textarea for certifications held (organic, USDA, etc.) and an optional file field for product photos.
- Export to CSV once applications close, and review stall mix and vendor fit before you accept.

What goes wrong with this form
Specific to a farmers market application, not general advice about forms.
Product categories as free text
A checkbox group (produce, meat, dairy, baked goods, prepared foods) keeps the mix countable. Free text produces "veggies", "fresh vegetables", "produce" for one category, and you will normalize them when balancing the market.
Not asking about days or stall size upfront
Collecting these on the form means you build a schedule from the export instead of juggling vendors afterward. A select field for stall size and checkboxes for days are what make the data usable.
Assuming the application means approval
The form is intake. You still verify permits, licenses and food safety certification in a followup call. Never tell a vendor they are approved until you have checked what the market requires.
Questions about this form
What should a farmers market application ask for?
Business name and contact details, product categories as checkboxes, a list of what they make or grow, whether homegrown or handmade, preferred stall size, which days they want, and optional certifications. Eight to ten fields captures everything you need to build a balanced market.
Does this form verify permits or licenses?
No. This form is intake — vendor information, products, availability. You review and verify permits, licenses and food handling certification afterward, during your follow-up call. The form collects the application; you do the screening.
Can a vendor apply for multiple days?
Yes. A checkbox group for days of the week lets each vendor check the ones they want, so you see both availability and frequency. A vendor available Saturday and Sunday checks both; one available only Saturday checks one.
