A Food Retailer is a business that must grown and process at least some items that they sell, but more than 50% of what they plan on selling is made, grown, or produced by other farms and businesses.

As a region with less availability of specific products, JFM allows these businesses to sell at the market. These businesses are crucial in creating a full and complete farmers market. Food retailers must complete a “Request to Purchase” form.

Other businesses that do not fit into any category may be eligible to table at the market through our sponsorship program.
