Lane County Farmers Market Is Seeking New and Disadvantaged Farmers/Ranchers To Participate In Our Farmers Market Promotion Program
We are seeking to remove barriers of entry into the market by offering:
– Tailored orientation sessions
– Resources and aid to fulfill vending requirements
– Entire financial sponsorship of booth fees and banners
– Canopies, tables, and other equipment as needed will be made available to borrow
We are specifically seeking farms and ranches that either:
– Have been in operation for less than five years
– Are owner/operated by women or other gender minorities
– Are owned/operated by BIPOC individual(s)
– Are veteran owner/operated
– Quality as a Limited-Resource Farm Household*
*You can quality for this by providing proof that your farm generated low farm sales for two consecutive years (under $180,300 each year) and had low household income for those years. Low household income is defined for this program as making less than $29,508 per individual. If you are unsure if you qualify, please send in your interest form anyways so that we can determine your eligibility. We are prioritizing individuals who reside in Lane County but will not disqualify eligible businesses that reside elsewhere. In an effort to grow our Tuesday market, preference for program participation will be offered to businesses that are available to vend on Tuesday over Saturday-only availability.
We look forward to hearing from you and supporting your growth at LCFM!
