The 2025 Ketchum and Hailey Farmers Markets are officially open for vendor applications!
We are using a new market management software this season called Marketspread. Please read through the following information carefully:
2025 MARKET DATES
Ketchum: Wednesdays, 12-4pm; June 11 – October 8
Hailey: Saturdays, 9am-1pm; June 14 – October 18 (NO market October 11 for Trailing of the Sheep)
Each individual vendor will be reviewed and selected by the board of directors based on the following criteria:
1. PRODUCTS MUST BE 100% handcrafted, grown, produced, etc by the vendors who are selling the items. We generally accept hard to find, unique, and unusual items that are not widely commercially available.
2. ABSOLUTELY NO imports, resale, or commercially made items are to be displayed and sold at the market. Produce and value-added items MUST be grown, made, and/or raised by the vendor selling items.
3. Vendors must live within a 100-mile radius (as the crow flies) of Hailey and/or Ketchum.
VENDOR FEES
ALL approved vendors (visiting, part-time, or full-time) must pay a $50 annual membership fee to the Wood River Farmers Market Association.
Ketchum Single Booth (10’x10′ canopy) = $25 for the season
Hailey Single Booth (10’x10′ canopy) = $25 for the season
Ketchum Double Booth (2 10’X10′ canopies or Food truck/Trailer) = $50 for the season
Hailey Double Booth (2 10’X10′ canopies or Food truck/Trailer) = $50 for the season
All participating vendors must pay 6% of weekly sales to the market, to be reported and paid in person or via the Marketspread app the week following each market attendance.
Artisan/craft vendors at the Ketchum Market are also required to pay a 2% LOT tax to the city of Ketchum (to be filed directly with the city of Ketchum).
FIRST STEP TO APPLY:
** If you are a returning vendor from 2024** please visit https://marketspread.com/
**If you are a new vendor** You will be prompted to create an account with Marketspread in order to access the application.
Once logged in, please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the platform and your profile. Add any basic contact information, but don’t worry about filling out too much until you are approved to be a vendor in our markets.
Please make sure to save your login information so that you can access your account information, application status, etc. in the future. Once you’ve set up your account, you can access the application here:
Please read all introductory information at the top of the application thoroughly to get an understanding of parameters for acceptance to our markets, fee structure, etc.
Payment and document upload (sales permit, insurance docs, etc) are not required until you are initially approved for the market(s). At that point, you will be notified and will be required to finalize payment and document upload via your Marketspread account or by mail. You will be fully approved once we receive your required documents and payment.
We appreciate your patience as we transition to this new program. We think it will be a very useful tool for our markets moving forward (lots more info on that to come!). Please contact us via email (wrfarmersmarket@gmail.com) if you have any questions or issues with the application. Applications will be reviewed by the WRFMA board throughout March and April, you will be notified as soon as possible with any updates on your application status.
