We are a certified farmers market through the Texas Department of Agriculture, and focus on hosting agricultural and value-added food vendors. We do not have plans to bring on vendors who create and sell artisan-type products such as clothing, jewelry, candles, etc... 

Unless you sell products related to food, sustainability, or agriculture (i.e, knives, cutting boards, composting services, etc…) we do not encourage you to apply. If you are an artisan looking for a market space, The Feel Good Group host markets with a wide variety of artisan vendors.

You do not need to submit two separate applications to sell at both markets. When you submit an application to the Informal Grub Farmers Markets, you are officially under consideration for both market locations.

You will be able to let us know in the application if you are interested in one of the locations or both.

We have created sponsorship opportunities that range from supportive donation to customizable activations at our markets. This allows us to collaborate with businesses that are looking for more brand recognition, community connection, outreach, etc…

Creating a space for local food and small business to thrive is as important as ever, and we know that many people and organizations want to be a part of it! These sponsorships are an important piece of improving and maintaining our markets year after year.

If you are interested in becoming a market sponsor, please email informalgrubmarkets@gmail.com to receive our package options and schedule a meeting!

Spaces in the market become available when a permanent vendor will not be present for a market date. A pop-up vendor is a vendor that “pops-up” temporarily when spaces are available.

Filling these temporary openings allows other vendors to participate in the market even though permanent space may not be available.

This process does not come with a time frame guarantee or placement guarantee. We have many pop-up vendors who eventually transition into permanent spaces if/when they become available.

What happens if I’m chosen as a popup vendor?

If we have a pop-up opening our Market Manager will contact vendors with approved applications in a similar category to the absent permanent vendor. After the availability information is sent out, the space is filled on a first-come-first-serve basis. The Market Manager will walk you through the next steps which will include a review of your permits and insurance.

We don't have a tentative schedule for pop-up vendors, as these spaces become available only when a permanent vendor notifies us they will not be able to attend a market date. We receive these notifications anywhere from months in advance to a few days before a market date. We fill these vacancies with pop-up vendors as they arise by notifying businesses on our pop-up list who fit a similar product type if possible. The space is then filled on a first come first serve basis.

All vendors that sell at our farmers markets are required to carry and maintain insurance in the amount of $1 million for products liability and $2 million for general aggregate liability with The Informal Grub, LLC. being named as additional insured.

If you are currently looking to purchase insurance (while we do not endorse any insurance company or policy) the following group does offer policies specifically for farmers market vendors and sign up is very simple and affordable.
