Join our market
The Victoria Farmers' Market is proud to be a producer's market. Everything sold at our market is 100% homegrown, homemade or handmade by our vendors.
Absolutely no resale of any type is permitted. ​​
-
We are first and foremost a food market and are always looking for more vendors who offer fresh produce.
-
We are not accepting any craft or artisan vendors.
-
​There is a $35 annual fee to join the market; booth fees are $20 on Saturdays and $10 on Wednesdays.
-
Our most successful vendors attend every week or every other week. Vendors who do not attend regularly do not grow their business as quickly.
-
Our weekly vendors are assigned permanent spots. Vendors who attend the market less often do not have permanent spots.
-
Please read the Rules and Regulations (link below) and contact Meridith Byrd at meridith@tfbgc.org or 361-218-9246 to request a vendor application.
