The policies and guidelines in this document are determined by board approval and may be changed to protect the well-being of the Market, its patrons, vendors, staff, and volunteers. Vendors will be notified of any significant changes. Failure to abide by these policies will result in corrective action up to and including expulsion of vendors and/any sellers from the market.
Vendors are expected to act considerately, no hawking or inappropriate behavior.
Items and behavior must promote a family- friendly environment.
All vendors must complete and sign a vendor application and have a copy of all required documents to be approved by the Board as a vendor.
Space is competitive and not every applicant can be placed. Vendors are juried on a variety of weighted inputs, not any one factor alone. Vendors in some categories may be rotated on schedule to provide variety. We strive to balance the products offered to ensure the success of vendors and to avoid over-saturation of any one type of product.
Priority is given to vendors selling "groceries" - fruits, vegetables, fruit & vegetable plants, meats, eggs, sauces, jellies, pickles, baked goods, etc.
The Board reserves the right to prohibit anyone from selling at the market and to withdraw privileges of any vendor at their discretion.
The Board has the right to visit the vendor's production location by appointment.
Vendors will treat each other with respect and will not interfere with customers standing at their site. If issues arise, please contact the site manager.
Solicitations for products, services, or charitable contributions are not permitted without permission from the site manager.
Vendors may ONLY sell products listed on the application that was approved by the Board. If a vendor wants to add product(s) to their booth, another application MUST be submitted for every additional product. There is no guarantee that new item applications will be accepted.
No Smoking or vaping is allowed on Kershaw County Farmers Market property.
City of Camden Plastic Bag Ordinance states that NO single use bags are to be used unless brought by the customer. You may use paper bags, biodegradable bags, or reusable bags.
