Who can sell at the 14&U and Bloomingdale Farmers Markets?

We host three types of vendors: full-season farmers and producers (producer-only, sourced from the Chesapeake Watershed region), rotating pop-up food vendors, and local artisans and makers. Each has its own application path.

What does "producer-only" mean at your markets?

Every vegetable, piece of fruit, jar of jam, dozen eggs, or pound of meat sold at the market must be grown, raised, or made by the person selling it. We do not allow re-sellers. All farmers and producers must source from the Chesapeake Watershed region: DC, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, or Pennsylvania.

How do I apply to be a vendor?

Email join@marketsandmore.info with: your business or farm name, what you produce or sell and where it's grown/made, which market you'd like to attend (14&U, Bloomingdale, or both), whether you're applying as full-season, recurring pop-up, or one-off, photos of your products, relevant licenses or certifications, and your website or social handles. We respond to every application within two weeks.

What are the stall fees?

Stall fees vary by vendor type and market day. Full-season farmer slots are billed by the season; pop-ups and artisans pay per attendance. We'll cover the specifics on our intro call so you know exactly what to expect. There are no hidden costs and no commission on sales.

When does the 2026 market season start?

The 14&U Farmers' Market runs Saturdays 9am to 1pm from May through November 2026. The Bloomingdale Farmers' Market runs Sundays 9am to 1pm year-round, with the 2026 season already underway.

Q: What do you look for in vendors?

Above all, quality and consistency. We also prioritize producer-only sourcing for farmers, small-business and woman/minority-owned businesses, vendors with a story, and applicants who can commit to a consistent schedule.

Who can sell at our markets

We host three types of vendors, each with its own application path:

1. Farmers and producers (full-season)

Our markets are producer-only. That means every vegetable, piece of fruit, jar of jam, dozen eggs, or pound of meat sold at the market must be grown, raised, or made by the person selling it (or their farm/business). We do not allow re-sellers. All farmers and producers must source from the Chesapeake Watershed region — DC, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, or Pennsylvania.

Full-season farmers commit to attending most weekends of the season (May–November for 14&U, year-round for Bloomingdale). In exchange, you get a guaranteed weekly slot at one of DC's most consistent farmers markets, with built-in foot traffic and customer base.

2. Pop-up food vendors

Pop-up food vendors serve prepared food and drinks at the markets on a rotating basis. Past pop-ups have included Vietnamese pho, Persian baklava, Greek pies, vegan dog treats, plant-based protein bars, Korean rice balls, and more. We curate pop-ups to complement, not compete with, our regular producers.

Pop-ups can apply for single-weekend visits or for a recurring monthly slot. We particularly welcome DC-based small businesses, women-owned and minority-owned businesses, and food vendors with a story.

3. Local artisans and makers

Beyond food, we host a curated lineup of DC-area artisans, makers, and small brands — ceramicists, jewelers, candle makers, illustrators, embroidery instructors, and more. Artisan slots rotate weekly and are limited to keep the markets food-forward.

What you need to apply

To start an application, email [email protected] with:

The name of your business or farm
What you produce or sell, and where it's grown/made
Which market you'd like to attend (14&U, Bloomingdale, or both)
Whether you're applying as a full-season vendor, a recurring pop-up, or a one-off visit
Photos of your products and (for farmers) your farm
Any relevant licenses or certifications — DC vendor license, ServSafe, etc.
Your website and social handles, if any

We respond to every application within two weeks. If you're a good fit, we'll schedule a phone call and (for farmers) a farm visit.

Fees and logistics

Stall fees vary by vendor type and market day. Full-season farmer slots are billed by the season; pop-ups and artisans pay per attendance. We'll cover all of this on our intro call so you know exactly what to expect — there are no hidden costs and no commission on sales.

Vendors bring their own tents, tables, scales, and payment systems. We provide market signage, customer communications, programming (chef demos, music), and the Bonus Bucks program for SNAP customers.

What we look for

Above all, we look for quality. Are you proud of what you make? Do customers come back? Are you the kind of business that adds to the neighborhood feel of a Saturday morning at the market?

We also prioritize: producer-only sourcing (for farmers), small-business and woman/minority-owned businesses, vendors with a story, and applicants who can commit to a consistent schedule.
