The Portage Farmers Market is now accepting applications 

for vendors and musicians for the 2023 Season!  

The Portage Farmers market is proud to promote local farmers, food producers, crafts-people, and artisans.  Participating vendors must meet all Federal, State and local preparation, licensing, labeling and storage regulations and may only sell products that are legal under Federal and State law.

Opening day of the Portage Farmers Market will be on Sunday, May 7, 2023 and will run every Sunday thereafter through Sunday, October 15.  During these 25 weeks, market hours are 9 AM to 1 PM.  Vendor stall spaces are 10’ by 10’ and each vendor is required to provide their own tent, table, signage/banner and weights (at least 50 pounds per leg).  A market stall costs $325 for the season or $20 for the daily fee.
