Due to our method of artisan vendor rotations, we do not accept artisan applications after the March deadline. Other vendor categories such as Ready to Eat, Value Added, Serve and Hemp vendors are limited to a set number of spaces for a season. If you are interested in applying for one of these categories, email the market manager to inquire about space availability.
If your application for the regular season is submitted after March 1st, please contact the market manager for a bypass link to the application.
Please be aware that all vendors must live within, and produce their goods within, the following five counties: La Plata, Montezuma, Archuleta, San Juan NM or San Juan CO.

A single booth space is $40 a week, with a $360 cap for the season for first and second year Agricultural vendors. All other vendors have a $440 cap for the season. We hold market for 25 consecutive weeks from the second Saturday in May through the last Saturday of October. Vendors are not required to attend every single market.
