Farmers’ Markets in NZ are always looking for new stallholders . There are only a
few simple steps required to become one:
1) Firstly,
make sure that you comply by checking out the "Can I sell" tab (next tab).
2)
Then apply to your local Farmers’ Market to become a stallholder. Markets have different joining processes and rules so it’s a good idea to visit the market and talk to market management before making an application.
3) The market manager will also be able to tell you if you need a
license from your local council to be able to sell at the Farmers’ Market. Most councils require you to obtain a stallholders license, which is generally renewable annually.
4) You will also
need to comply with Food Safety regulations . These are generally straightforward for fresh produce and more complex for most processed food and things like meat and fish products. Refer to the
Food Safety tab on this page for more information.
When you have been accepted as a stallholder you should receive
support from the market organizers and other stallholders . In addition you can receive a
free copy of the FMNZ “Stallholders Handbook” which contains a wealth of information to ease your entry into the market.
We hope to welcome you soon as a stallholder.
