Farmers Market Vendor Code of Conduct

Running a successful farmers market requires clear vendor guidelines and consistent standards. This Farmers Market Vendor Code of Conduct template helps market managers establish professional expectations while ensuring vendors understand booth setup rules, product labeling requirements, and pricing display standards.

Whether you're managing a weekly community market, seasonal farm stand collective, or year-round artisan marketplace, this template creates a clear agreement between market organizers and vendors. It covers essential topics including booth presentation standards, product authenticity requirements, food safety protocols, customer service expectations, and operational compliance.

Paperform makes it simple to collect vendor acknowledgments digitally, eliminating paper forms and creating an auditable record of who has agreed to your market's standards. The form can be customized to reflect your specific market rules, local health department requirements, and community values. With conditional logic, you can show different sections based on vendor type—whether they're selling produce, prepared foods, crafts, or other products.

After vendors submit their acknowledgment, you can use Stepper (stepper.io) to automatically update your vendor database, send confirmation emails with booth assignments, and trigger reminders about market days. This keeps your vendor management organized and ensures everyone is aligned on expectations before market day arrives.

Perfect for farmers market managers, cooperative market organizers, food hub coordinators, and community market directors who need a professional, efficient way to onboard vendors and maintain consistent standards across their marketplace.
