Welcome to the North Dakota Farmers Market and Growers Association Website!
2012 Grant Programs Now Available!
New Vendor Grant:
This grant of
$200 will go to the vendor who applies. Only brand new vendors are
eligible for this grant. In other words, someone who has sold at any market
before, yours or someone else’s, is not eligible. However, if someone has
worked at a different stand but branches off to create their own business/new
stand, would be eligible. The vendor must sell a specialty crop (such as
vegetables, fruits, cut flowers, horticulture plants, etc.). Vendors who sell only
crafts, baked goods, jellies, etc. are not eligible. If you
have a question if a vendor would be eligible for this grant or not, please
feel free to contact us.
The $200 is to
be used for equipment and supplies related to starting to vend at a farmers’
markets. This could include but is not limited to the purchase of tables,
canopies, signs, vendor fees, display boxes, cash box, scale, etc.
This grant is
a great way for your market to recruit new vendors. If you have someone
interested in joining the market make sure they know they could get $200 to
help with start-up costs. Vendors can apply at any time until August 31st, 2012.
Please remember that your market MUST be a member of
the NDFMGA to apply for any of these grants. To ensure your eligibility,
complete the our membership form and send your dues to the NDFMGA.
