Participation is open to any person interested in the promotion of this market and who is willing to abide by its regulations. 3. It is the responsibility of each vendor/producer to abide by all federal/state/county regulations which govern the production, harvest, preparation, preservation, labeling or safety of the product the vendor offers for sale at the market. 4. There will be a weekly $10.00 set-up fee per 10x10 space to help defray the cost of the market. An additional $5.00 is charged per week for the use of electricity.

Fruits and vegetables must be sold only in their RAW, UNPROCESSED form unless otherwise noted on labeling or signs. 6. The sale of hot boiled peanuts can only be permitted when they are prepared on site and dispensed directly into containers used for said sale. 7. Home baked and processed food such as bread, jellies, jams, preserves, and pickles are welcome, but they must come from a licensed kitchen approved by the Georgia Department of Agriculture. The vendor is responsible for obtaining that license and any other necessary licenses and bringing copies for the market manager to keep. To find out more call the Consumer Protection Field Services, Georgia Department of Agriculture, 404-656-3627. Produce that is baked, parched, sliced, or otherwise processed, no longer qualifies for sale at the Farmers Market unless it meets the qualifications of having come from a licensed, certified kitchen. Any license that is required should be included with this application. 8. Each vendor will be responsible for setting up, displaying, and packaging their products, as well as protecting those products from the elements. Vendors must leave their selling area in a clean and orderly condition. All unsold goods must be removed from the property. 9. ALL PRODUCTS FOR SALE MUST STATE THEIR ORIGIN. This can either be done with individual labels or with display signs. Signage displaying farm names is adequate so long as the product being sold came from that farm. 10.
