Two Markets in One!

The Trenton Farmers Market is open year-round, with our summer season running from May 1 through October 31. This is our Jersey Fresh produce season.

When Jersey Fresh season ends, our popular Winter market starts November 1, and runs through the holidays and winter until April 30. We do have a few farmers who remain during the winter market, but we turn our focus to makers, artisans, and creators who can fill in during the farmers’ off-season.

What’s Required of Farmers Market Vendors?

All vendors at the Trenton Farmers Market MUST have the following items to be considered:

• A State of NJ Sales tax collection certificate
• A Lawrence Township business registration
• At least $1million in general liability insurance with the market named as “additionally insured”
• Lawrence Township Health Dept. inspection and approval (ALL Food products!) You must have or rent an approved commercial kitchen or cottage license and appropriate labels for your products, including ingredients and allergen notices.
• The market also requires that vendors attend the market AT LEAST three consecutive days each week, NO EXCEPTIONS! Vendors are permitted to attend EVERY day the market is open each week. We DO NOT rent by the day nor permit the sale of used items or flea market items in the Summer Market.

How do I rent space?

Once all your required paperwork is in order, it’s time to call the market office to see what space might be available.

The most readily available space is at one of our green center aisle tables (22” w X 10’l) located in three of our four market wings. The market manager will help locate you in the best space for your product and how it relates to other vendors. The market office is also responsible for determining if your product or service is something we feel will complement the market offering and will appeal to our customers.

Please note that the larger and very popular Farmer Stalls are rarely available, however the market will keep you on a wait list. Again, time on the wait list is less important to us than fit of your offering among our market vendor mix.

What is the cost to rent?

Our rates are the same all year:

$71/week for a green aisle table (22” w X 10’l) 3 consecutive day minimum.

+$10/week additional if electricity is required (only three electrified tables available)

$85/week for a Farmer stall (approx. 9’w X 10’d) 3 consecutive day minimum. You must pay weekly whether you attend the market or not.

+$10/week additional if electricity is required (all stalls have electric)

We do NOT rent tables or stalls for the day. 3 days minimum for $71 is required.

You will pay for your first week on your first day, we will then collect your weekly rent by 2pm on Saturday week. Your rent must be paid in full in order to be allowed to return the next week.

Lease terms and rates are also available for full stores & restaurants, if available, inquire directly with the market manager. Currently, all available spaces are leased.

Other Helpful Information

The Trenton Farmers Market does lots of promotion on social media and in print, digital and broadcast media. Our primary goal is to drive traffic to the market. Then it’s up to each vendor to convert that traffic into their own customers.

Our most successful vendors all have the same things in common; they are already in business, have developed a customer base or following, use social media to promote themselves. We cross share vendor social media to the market page which boasts over 15,000 members on Facebook and Instagram.

Bathrooms are located at the Market Office. Keys are hanging outside the office door during market hours. Plenty of FREE parking is available. Smoking of any kind is NOT permitted in the market. No yelling or hawking is allowed. A complete list of market rules will be provided to all vendors.

All vendors MUST completely clear their tables and surrounding area, including under tables UNLESS you are returning the next day. This allows our janitorial staff to completely clean the market.
