• All Vendors must comply with State/County health and safety codes. 
• All Booths must have a name, identifying the farm or business, and prices must be clearly marked either on the product or on an easily legible sign. These signs can be handmade, on chalkboard, or printed.
• Booth Fees are calculated based on the width of space occupied. Ex. 6' and under/8' wide/10' wide/then for every 5' thereafter.The CDFA requires a $2 fee from each vendor per market day. We include this in the booth fee and remit on your behalf.
• Cancellations of less than a week's notice will incurr a fine equivalent to the booth fee. Regular attendance is required unless previous arrangements have been made. Fine is waived for true emergencies at manager's discretion.
• All Vendors should carry liability insurance naming LCFF as additional insured, plus vehicle insurance if driving into the market area.
• New Products and items for the newsletter must be emailed to manager 3 days prior to each market for inclusion. This is also the deadline for unforeseen changes.
