Vendor Application

WE ARE CURRENTLY ACCEPTING VENDOR APPLICATIONS

Thank you for your interest in the Cove Farmers Market!

Please fill out the Vendor Application Form in its entirety.

Please note, submission doesn't guarantee acceptance, our team will reach out to discuss this exciting opportunity.

The Cove Farmers Market is located at 1582 SE 3rd Ct, Deerfield Beach, FL 33441 and will be open every Saturday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

Vendors are kindly reminded to ensure all necessary permits and licenses are in place. It’s the Vendor’s responsibility to obtain and provide proof of any required documentation. Please have your current permits available on event days for possible State Agency inspections.

Vendor Guidelines:

We’re excited to have you as a part of our event! Please take note of the following guidelines to help things run smoothly:

• Setup Time: Setup begins at 7:45 AM, and we kindly ask that all vendors complete their setup by 8:30 AM. The event officially starts at 9:00 AM, and we want to ensure everything is ready for a great experience! Vendors arriving after 9:00 AM may not be able to be accommodated.

• Vendor Requirements: Each vendor is responsible for providing the following:

  • A tent (no larger than 10’ x 10’), subject to approval by the Boca Farmers Market team

  • Four (4) twenty (20) pound weights for each 10’ x 10’ tent, totaling 80 pounds

  • Tables, tablecloths, chairs, and any additional equipment you may need

  • Clear, professional signage displaying your business name and pricing

• Generators: Small, quiet generators under 5KW are welcome but must be approved by the Cove Farmers Market team. To ensure a pleasant atmosphere for all, please make sure your generator is not too loud or smoky. If there are any concerns, we may need to ask you to turn it off.

• Assistance and Liability: Our staff and fellow vendors are happy to help you set up your tent or equipment, but please note that the Cove Farmers Market and other vendors cannot be held responsible for any damage that may occur during setup. It’s important that vendors are mindful and take responsibility for their own items during the process.

• Tent Weights and Safety: To ensure the safety of all, tents must be properly weighted at all times, no matter the weather. Vendors are responsible for any damage caused by their tent to people or property. If a tent does not meet the safety guidelines, event staff may kindly ask for it to be taken down.

  • Each tent should have at least 20 pounds of weight on each leg.

  • Please secure the top of each leg to the weights using bungee cords or string.

  • Tents should be clean and in good condition, with no broken or missing parts.

  Breakdown: Vendors are kindly asked not to break down their booths before 1:00 PM. If you must leave early, please inform the Cove Farmers Market team. At the end of the day, all items—including trash—should be removed and properly disposed of. All vendors should be off-site by 2:00 PM and leave the area as they found it.

  Vendor Booth Space:

  • Please cover your tables with a clean tablecloth.

  • Vendors’ products should be pre-approved by the Cove Farmers Market. If any unapproved items are found, we’ll kindly ask you to remove them. Please note, there is no exclusivity in the market, and it’s common to see multiple vendors offering similar items. This market focuses on real/natural foods, local produce, and homemade goods. We ask that all products be family-friendly.

  • Vendors should remain within their designated 10’ x 10’ space. Tables, chairs, boxes, equipment, and coolers should not extend outside this area.

  • Please keep your booth space clean at all times.

  • A price list should be visible for all items being sold.

  • Subletting or sharing booth space is not allowed.

  • To maintain the overall appearance of the market, the Cove Farmers Market reserves the right to manage the look of the space. Vendors may be asked to leave if their booth detracts from the market’s image (e.g., dirty canopies, rusted tables, missing tablecloths, or torn signage).

  Thank you for helping us maintain a safe, clean, and welcoming market for all!
