Space at the Renton Farmers Market is limited; our priority is to support our local farms, but we do have some space for food vendors and artisan/crafters.  Please note that we receive dozens of inquiries and applications from food vendors (bakers, confections, condiments, prepared/hot foods) and simply cannot accept all applicants.  Qualified vendor applicants if not accepted initially will be placed on a waiting list for the season and will be contacted should an opportunity become available.  Crafters/artisans please note that we do not allow vendors to sell CBD or any other consumable marijuana products.
