This all depends on what you’re selling.  Producers preparing food on-site are required to follow all California fire and health code regulations and may need to bring more equipment (fire extinguishers, chlorine test strips, etc.).  Below is a list of essentials all producers should bring with them when selling at the market:

  • Fire retardant, canopy, tent, or covering for product display
  • Weights to anchor your canopy
  • Banner with the following information:
    • Business name
    • Business address
    • Business phone number and email address
  • Table and tablecloths
  • Price signs
  • Safe storage for food that is at least 6 inches off the ground
  • Equipment for washing food and utensils
  • Weights and tie-downs

Please speak with the Market Manager about additional equipment requirements that may be needed for a specific farmers’ market before attending it.
