How how do I obtain a vendor's spot at the public market

Casandra James | Oct 2, 2018
Ashley Yantz | Oct 2, 2018

If you are local farmers you get first dibs on spots everyone else after that. You need social security number or EIN number. Outside spots not under sheds run around 20 under sheds are 25 to 40 with access to electric inside new heated building not sure on those but they are more for meats and places that cook with sinks running water and some ovens

Do they accept EBT payments?

Stacy Jones | Oct 2, 2018
Michael Gerhardt | Oct 2, 2018

Yes! And... You are going to like hearing this. There is a dedicated trailer there where you swipe your card for wooden $5 and $1 tokens accepted by all market merchants, and because of a grant program you receive 20 percent more in tokens on top of what you are spending (ask for $50 get $70 in tokens, etc.)!

How do I apply for opportunities to play music at the Public Market?

Phil Dollard | Apr 4, 2022
Tracy jean Barry | Apr 4, 2022

On the next Saturday you have free head over to the main office, the old brick house at the center of the market. All of your questions can be answered there. To play music during market hours you have to get on a list, I believe it's a first come first served list for set spots throughout the market. Good luck!

Patrick Gillespie | Oct 1, 2021

Simply wear a mask, while walking around to vendors both inside and outside. Inside doors are open and air is circulating. I try to maintain a safe distance, keep moving and only stop to make a purchase. It seems all the regular venders for this time of year are there... Have fun

Does it accept wic?

Veronica Irizarry | Oct 2, 2019
Ryan Yacono | Oct 2, 2019

The WIC funds are traded for market coins at the central booth. Those coins ( wooden nickels) can be used at any market vendors, I believe. In fact, I think that you get some sort of bonus when reading WIC funds in for market coins as a way to promote healthy nutrition.

Where could I find a nice hotel near by

Christina Pirrami | Oct 2, 2019
Mark Sharp | Oct 2, 2019

Rochester as a whole is very easy to get around. Not really any good places within walking distance to market anyway. (You could walk from Hyatt, Strathallan and other downtown hotels but its a bit of a walk! I'd hit up hotel tonight or one of the other sites and just get a room for best value, including the adjacent suburbs unless there is something else specific you are going to that requires you to be downtown.

No, mushrooms at the market are rare, and they end up only being the ones that are shipped in from our off state. Mostly whites and Bellad.

What times open

Rosa Vega | Oct 2, 2018
Jess C | Oct 2, 2018

The market is open Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday for farmers market - food, produce, etc. The times are roughly 7am-2pm. Some people by sell all their goods and leave earlier, some might linger a little later to try to sell more. It's pretty fluid and can depend on different factors, like weather. Sundays at the market are special events, not the farmers market. Sometimes they do plant sales, sometimes garage sales. You won't be able to do your regular market shopping on a Sunday.
