Thank you for your interest in applying to the Crested Butte Farmers Market.
The vendor application period for the 2025 market season has ended.
Our fill in vendor list is completely full too!!
Eligibility Requirements for Vendors
Only vendors who meet the specific eligibility requirements as outlined in our Rules and Regulations are eligible to apply. Completing the application does not guarantee acceptance.
Applications will be available January 1st through February 1st, at noon for the upcoming season. Potential vendors may also be required to fill out Additional Information Worksheets, which will ask for more specific information about growing practices, land and herd management, ingredients used, etc. Potential vendors may also be required to provide copies of receipts and/or invoices proving purchase of acceptable raw ingredients. After the CBFM Board of Directors has reviewed all required documents, applications will be voted on. All applicants will hear back from the CBFM no later than March 1st. Providing we receive all required documents in a timely manner, many returning vendors can expect to hear back sooner than that. The Crested Butte Farmers Market disallows subletting of booth space and co-op style organizations.
All vendors are required to follow our Rules and Regulations.
*PLEASE BE AWARE, THE CRESTED BUTTE FARMERS MARKET (CBFM) IS AN EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE APPLICATION PROCESS. THE CBFM STRIVES TO BE, FIRST AND FOREMOST, A FARMERS MARKET. AS SUCH, WE PRIORITIZE ADMITTING FOOD VENDORS OVER NON-FOOD VENDORS. THUS, IF YOU ARE AN ARTIST OR A CRAFT VENDOR INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING IN THE CBFM, PLEASE REVIEW THE RULES AND REGULATIONS BEFORE FILLING OUT AN APPLICATION AND BE AWARE THAT ADMISSION INTO THE MARKET IS NOT GUARANTEED JUST BECAUSE YOU SUBMIT AN APPLICATION.*
Eligibility Requirements for Non-Profits & Community Organizations
In keeping with the market’s goal of building community within Crested Butte, CBFM offers free booth space to non-profit and community-service oriented organizations. These organizations are encouraged to educate the public about their organization, offer items for sale at their booth, advertise upcoming events, as well as solicit donations and perform educational outreach. Organizations structured as not-for-profits are only eligible for not-for-profit space, and are not eligible for other booth spaces. Booth space is provided free of charge and these organizations are exempt from the market fee. All sales tax, if relevant, is the responsibility of the not-for-profit and not the Crested Butte Farmers Market.
