Information for New Vendors

NEW vendors interested in attending the Cochrane Farmers’ Market in 2025 are encouraged to submit information about themselves, their business and their product(s) by completing the Vendor Profile form. This process allows vendors that have not previously been approved or have not attended the Cochrane Farmers’ Market in the past year to introduce themselves.

Please note that the Cochrane Farmers’ Market is an Alberta Approved Farmers’ Market, which means that we give priority to vendors with products that are grown, produced, handcrafted, processed or baked by the individual. Products from outside Alberta or those that do not meet the above criteria are strictly limited. The Cochrane Market does not approve applications from new vendors that offer commercial / reseller or franchise / multi-level marketing products. This restriction also applies to most service-based businesses. Refer to the 2025 Vendor Guidelines, Part A – Criteria for Vendor Selection which clearly outlines our priorities when selecting vendors.

After review of the submitted Vendor Profile, vendors will be advised whether they meet the criteria for participation in the Cochrane Farmers’ Market. New vendors may submit applications for the markets they wish to attend at the same time they submit their Vendor Profile. Note that approval of the vendor and their products does not guarantee that requested dates will be approved as product categories and/or markets dates may be full.
