Kids Vending Policy: Kids under the age of 18 are welcome to vend 1:30 pm to 5:00 pm, free of charge, at a location TBD by HFM management on the three designated days listed above. Please talk to staff to learn your assigned space.
The purpose of Kids Vending Day is to engage youth in agricultural and entrepreneurial activities and education, while developing social and math skills. Those wishing to vend during Kids Vending Days must:
- Check in at the Information Booth after 1:30 p.m. each vending day. (The Market Manager is not available until after 1:30 p.m.) No Kid Vendors will be allowed to set up after 2pm.
- Complete a Kids Membership Form outlining what they intend to sell and who it's produced by. (These are available at the staff tent.)
- Must always have adult supervision if under the age of 16.
- All produce/eggs/crafts sold must be produced/cared for/harvested by kid(s) selling it, with minimal adult assistance.
- All market policy must be followed, including craft standards and Cottage Foods guidelines for labeling.
- Space is first come, first serve, and limited to one 6 ft. table or smaller per vendor; those kids bringing pop up tents will be required to share space with other kid vendors.
- Kids must bring all of their own supplies, including tents. HFM does not guarantee access to a covered space - kids should be prepared for rain!
- Kids (and parents) will not solicit for sales or impede on others sales. Doing so may impact ability for the child to vend again in the future.
- Adults who produce the majority of products/crafts sold by children should apply for regular booth space. Kids Vending Day is for kids.
