Lake Oswego Farmers’ Market Mission & Objectives Welcome to the Lake Oswego Farmers' Market (LOFM) – a Market developed and operated by the City of Lake Oswego Parks & Recreation Department. LOFM showcases some of the region's finest agricultural products. Local produce and goods are sold directly to the buying public by growers, gatherers and producers.

The Lake Oswego Farmers' Market (LOFM) was created to establish operations of a seasonal, open air Market at Millennium Plaza Park in downtown Lake Oswego.

The objectives of the LOFM are:

• To provide an informal social gathering place in an open-air setting for the Lake Oswego community and our neighbors.

• To enhance the downtown business community.

• To give the community access to a wide variety of fresh, local, in-season & sustainable products direct from the producer and to provide a centralized location for local producers to Market directly to the buying public.

The Market concept is built around three principal elements:

• Regional farmers who sell fresh fruits and vegetables, horticultural items and other products from their farms (LOFM is primarily agricultural).

• Local Refreshment vendors who provide value added, processed, or baked goods for the shoppers’ convenience.

• Hot Food vendors who provide food services at the plaza that are prepared onsite for immediate consumption.

LOFM’s primary focus is food & agriculture, thus the following vendors will be considered on an extremely LIMITED basis:

• Eligible Artisan vendors

• City government participants

• Kids’ Corner participants

• Eligible Nonprofit vendors

The Lake Oswego Farmers’ Market offers a diverse group of vendors that bring a variety of

backgrounds, culturally authentic foods and artisan goods to the Lake Oswego community,

including those who may come from a non-traditional background. LOFM is an inclusive

Marketplace, at which all qualified vendors will be considered without regard to race, color,

religion, sex, national origin, age, marital status, familial status, gender identity and

expression, sexual orientation, disability for which a reasonable accommodation can be

made or any other status protected by law. LOFM aims to support equity and celebrate

diversity in food systems, and create a place where local farmers and small businesses can

thrive.

`


Our Markets Lake Oswego Farmers’ Market hosts two farmers’ Markets in the Lake Oswego community, the Lake Oswego Farmers’ Market and the Lake Grove Farmers’ Market. The Lake Oswego Farmers’ Market is a traditional Saturday morning Market in downtown Lake Oswego that includes non-food vendors on a limited basis. The Lake Grove Farmers’ Market is a local agriculture and food focused market hosted on the 97035 side of Lake Oswego.

Market Eligibility & Participation LOFM welcomes applications from all vendors that meet the Market’s requirements. Please review this handbook thoroughly prior to applying. Product guidelines and selection criteria are detailed in full. All products must be grown, raised, caught, gathered, produced or crafted by the vendor within the Pacific Northwest as defined by Oregon, Washington and Idaho.

Product Guidelines

• Selling solely catering services is not allowed at the Market.

• Selling solely membership services is not allowed at the Market.

• Products such as vitamins and dietary supplements are not allowed at the Market.

• Pet foods are prohibited from LOFM, except when raised by a farmer/grower and minimally processed. Examples include rawhide such as pig ears.

• THC products are prohibited from the Market. LOFM is run by the City of Lake Oswego and operates under a city business license (LOC 20.02.085). Because THC products remain illegal at the federal level, selling and distributing these products at the LOFM would result in a violation of federal law making the Lake Oswego Farmers’ Market business license null and void.

• Hemp/CBD products are only allowed if derived from registered Oregon growers. Please see page 17 for specific product requirements.

Application Procedures & Application Fee Interested applicants may apply to the Farmers’ Market beginning January 5, 2022. Applications are due February 14, 2022. Applications may be submitted through the online website Manage My Market, www.managemyMarket.com. Please create an account, complete a profile and apply to the Lake Oswego Farmers’ Market.

A $25 non-refundable application fee is required for all vendors. The online vendor application will not be considered complete until this fee is received. Please remit payment through the imbedded link to PayPal on the Manage My Market application.

Submission of application does not imply acceptance into LOFM. Participants are not selected on a first-come, first-serve basis. All applicants are juried. Every applicant is reviewed annually. Participation in previous years does not guarantee acceptance in future years (although LOFM is loyal to returning vendors whom staff has created a positive relationship with).

We recommend that vendors complete their vendor profile in detail and answer all questions on the application thoroughly. We also recommend including photos of booth set up and products too. Vendors may be invited to an in-person interview and product tasting with Market staff to help determine if their product will be a good fit.

Sustainability Practices The Lake Oswego Farmers’ Market, working in concert with the City of Lake Oswego is committed to hosting a green and sustainable Market. The following rules have been created in order to maintain these goals and commit to reducing waste for a green future.

• Single-Use Plastic Checkout Bag Ban: The City of Lake Oswego Ordinance 2806 and Oregon House Bill 2509 both prohibit retail stores and restaurants from providing single-use checkout bags to customers (this includes Market vendors). Bags provided to customers can only be reusable checkout bags or recycled paper checkout bags made of at least 40% recycled materials. Vendors must charge a 10-cent fee for checkout bags, excluding SNAP/WIC users (bag must be free). Please encourage Market patrons to bring reusable bags. Exceptions to the bag ban include plastic bags used for storage of meats, seafood and flowers.

• Produce Bag Requirements: Although Lake Oswego City Ordinance 2806 and Oregon House Bill 2509 exempt produce bags, in an effort to be more sustainable, the Market will be requiring all vendors to use BPI certified compostable, 100% compostable or paper produce bags. Exceptions to the bag ban include plastic bags used for storage of meats, seafood and flowers.

• Straw Policy: Use of Plastic Straws at the Market is prohibited. Please contact the Market Manager if you need assistance finding wholesale retailers of paper straws.

• Utensils Policy: Single-use plastic utensils at the Market are prohibited. Utensils given to customers at the Market must be reusable metal or compostable wood or bamboo. This includes utensils given for product sampling. Vendors may use the LOFM kitchen to wash metal utensils as needed.

• Clamshell/To-Go Container Policy: Single-use plastic clamshell to-go containers are prohibited from the Market. Clamshell to-go containers must be 100% compostable and not have a PLA Liner or Plastic Liner. Containers made from sugar cane or plant fiber are acceptable.

• Sale of plastic water bottles at the Market is prohibited. Water is available to Market patrons at two hydration stations located on the Market grounds. Sale of water is permitted in recyclable cans, paper cartons and(or) glass bottles.

Market Token Currency LOFM offers several types of tokens that may be used in lieu of cash for goods at the Market. Tokens can be purchased at the Merchant Services booth located next to the pergola restrooms. Tokens have no expirations date and all qualifying vendors are required to accept tokens. Vendors may use tokens to pay for booth fees. At the end of each Market day, vendors may turn in tokens at the Merchant services booth. Market staff will provide you with a receipt and the City of Lake Oswego finance department will issue you a check or automatic deposit the following week.

• $5 Blue Tokens: These tokens are no longer available for purchase and are currently being phased out. $5 tokens may still be in circulation as they never expire. These tokens are used as cash and ALL vendors must accept them as currency.


• $1 Wooden Subway Tokens: These tokens are purchased using an Oregon Trail/EBT card for individuals with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. SNAP benefits can only be used on grocery store eligible foods including meats, seafood, eggs, dairy, baked goods, produce, value added products, and plants that produce food. Items that cannot be purchased with $1 wooden tokens include: Hot food, alcohol, flowers, non-food producing plants and artisan goods. LOFM matches up to $20 in SNAP benefits per individual each week to increase local food access at the Market.

• $1 Red Tokens: These tokens are used for LOFM’s Farm Fresh Kids program. Market youth can earn these tokens by participating in the Farm Fresh Kids educational program. These tokens can only be used to purchase Fruits & Vegetables.

Fire Prevention & Safety Due to an increase in fire-based emergencies at special events, the City is working diligently to improve fire safety at the Market. Furthermore, Fire Code has been amended at the state level, resulting in additional changes. In order to minimize risk of fire-related incidents, the Market requires the following:

1. All vendors using cooking devices emitting flame, heat or fire or any flammable or combustible liquids such as gas or charcoal must have at least one clear exit route from their canopy for employee use. These routes must be clear of any objects that obstruct the pathway.

2. Propane tanks must be located outside or near the exterior of booth spaces away from direct flames, high heat and sparks.

3. Propane tank valves and ducts must be secured tightly to prevent leakage. 4. All propane tanks must be secured to prevent being knocked over.

a. Tanks can be secured in a container with a flat base that cannot be knocked over.

b. Tanks can be secured by being tied to a sturdy post or structure using secured straps (no bungee cords or straps that can stretch).

5. Clearance from the appliances to other combustibles shall be in accordance with the equipment manufacturer’s clearance requirements or no less than 36-inches.

6. Cooking equipment using combustible oils or solids must be placed on a non-combustible surface. Non-combustible surfaces include metal, cement and other non-combustible surfaces.

a. Exceptions can be made if the cooking equipment manufactures manual states the equipment is safe to be on combustible surfaces.

b. Combustible surfaces to avoid include untreated wood, plastics, table cloths, etc.

7. All ventilation systems and tanks should be pointed away from the vending booth and the public.

8. The only open flame permitted at the Market is from cooking equipment. 9. Fire extinguishers provided by LOFM are located in the kitchen, in the hot food

area of the Market on the south side of the water feature, under the pergola on the back wall behind booth space 92 and near the grassy knoll behind booth space 82.


General Logistics & Operation of Vendor Stalls A. With the exception of Kids’ Corner participants, all vendors are provided with a

stall space measuring approximately 10’ x 10’. Motorized trailers/food trucks are not permitted. Farmer/Grower vendors may request and be granted additional booth space depending on availability. Booth location is determined by the Market Manager.

B. With the exception of Kids’ Corner participants, all vendors shall provide their own booth or sun/rain cover. All participants must supply their own tables/chairs. All vendors must have weights on all four corners of their canopy. LOFM is not be able to store any of your equipment as space is extremely limited. In addition, LOFM is also not able to loan out any equipment.

C. Market Setup: Vendors are permitted to drive onto the plaza at Millennium Park to unload their supplies. The LOFM Traffic Team arrives on site at 6:30am to assist vendors with load-in. Please stop at the traffic sign located in the roundabout and wait for direction from the Traffic Team before driving onto the plaza. Please be safe and proceed with caution.

D. Please unload your supplies as quickly as possible and remove your vehicle from the plaza before commencing booth setup.

E. For safety reasons, all vehicles must be off the plaza by 8am. Late arriving participants must park their vehicles outside the Market area and carry their supplies and products to their booth space.

F. Participants must be ready for operation when the Market opens promptly at 8:30am.

G. Booths must be staffed at all times (Market hours are 8:30am-1:30pm).

H. Participants are not allowed to disassemble booths before the Market closes at 1:30pm unless permission is first obtained directly from the Market Manager. In the event a vendor runs out of product, he/she must keep his/her booth intact until the close of the Market. Early departures are not be permitted.

I. Market Close: Market Close is similar to Market Setup. Beginning at 1:45pm, vehicles may line-up along Third Street to access the plaza. The Traffic Team cautiously permits access to the plaza at this time. When entering the Market from Third Street, please stop at corner of First and Evergreen and wait for direction from the Traffic Team before driving onto the plaza.

J. Participants are not allowed to sell or distribute products before opening time or after closing.

K. Vendors are not allowed to have tip jars displayed within their defined booth space.


L. Parking: All participants and their employees are encouraged to park in the lot

at City Hall (380 A Avenue, two blocks west of the Plaza). Please do not park in the parking structure at Lake View Village or within a one-block radius of the Market. It is our goal to allow all Market shoppers easy and efficient access to the Market.

M. Booth spaces not occupied by 8am shall be deemed forfeited and may be reassigned to another vendor unless prior approval has been given by the Market Manager.

N. Participants are responsible for keeping their space attractive during Market hours and for cleaning up their space after the Market closes, including the removal of garbage and sweeping up any debris. Vendors may use plaza receptacles for debris, although it must be contained in receptacles. If extra garbage bags are utilized, they must be taken down the steps on the north side of the plaza and placed inside the Parks Maintenance truck bed for removal. Vendors with cardboard for recycling must flatten it and place it in the Parks Maintenance truck bed for removal. Vendors whose products generate waste must provide recycling/trash containers for customer use.

O. Participants shall not permit any waste or strip of the property by action of the Vendor, its agents or employees. No shrubs, trees or other vegetation may be damaged, moved or otherwise disturbed as a result of this agreement. Vendors shall repair, replace or restore the licensed area so that it is free from evidence of vendor’s use.

P. The plaza surface is quite porous and once it has been soiled from cooking material or berries, it is impossible to clean. It is the responsibility of the vendor to be especially diligent in protecting the surface in his/her stalls space. It is also the responsibility of the vendor to clean any surface that is unprotected on the same Market day. Should Parks Maintenance staff be required to clean or replace pavers, the vendor will bear the burden of payment. The easiest way to protect the paved surface from damage is to lay down a protective ground cover, such as cardboard, plastic, or rubber mats. Please cover the entire surface of your stall space.

Q. Due to Market expansion and contraction throughout the season, the Market Manager may request vendors to change stalls. When this situation arises, the Market Manager will consult with affected vendors and determine the best solution. The Market Manager is the final decision-maker.

R. The electricity at Millennium Plaza Park is extremely limited. Due to this, only

Farmer/Grower, Hot Foods and Refreshment vendors may apply for electrical use. All use must be detailed in the application.


S. By law, parks throughout the City of Lake Oswego are tobacco free. Smoking is prohibited on the Market grounds.

Market Stall Cancellation Policy Except in emergencies, vendors will forfeit their stall payment if the Market Manager is not informed of a cancellation by noon on Wednesday prior to Saturday Market. In the event that the vendor has prepaid for space, he/she will receive a credit if notification occurs by noon on the Wednesday prior to the Saturday Market. If notification is not received by noon on Wednesday prior to the Saturday Market, the vendor will be charged in full for the space. Failure to notify or show up to the Market will result in a warning the first instance and a review of vendor participation in the Market the second instance. Vendors are not permitted to sub-lease their stalls. Please note that Artist participants are required to pre-pay for their booth spaces. Except in emergencies, any withdrawals will result in a $10 cancellation fee. In addition, vendors forfeit their stall payment in entirety if the Market Manager is not informed of a cancellation by noon on the Wednesday prior to Saturday Market. Inclement Weather Policy In general, it is LOFM’s policy to be open rain or shine. LOFM will not be closed unless it is determined that severe weather conditions compromise the safety of vendors, volunteers and customers. Any necessary changes or modifications are determined by the Market Manager. Notifications of change will be issued as far in advance as possible. If a modification or cancellation is required, vendors will be notified via email. In the event of the cancellation of LOFM, vendors will not be required to pay booth fees for that Market date (if booth fees have already been submitted, the vendor will be refunded). Additionally, the Lake Oswego Farmers’ Market website will be updated with information reflecting any change or cancellation to LOFM.

A. High Winds: LOFM is located on Lakewood Bay and it is not uncommon for winds to arise. All vendors are responsible for making sure canopies are adequately secured with weights on all four corners. If improperly weighted canopies are a risk to other vendors or customers, the Market Manager may require canopies to be disassembled.

B. Lightning: If lightning arises at the Market, an announcement will be made stating the need for safety procedures. Vendors should remain calm, unplug all electrical equipment at the first sign of lightning and step away from these items. Please seek shelter indoors and remain a safe distance away from trees or light posts. Those with vehicles are encouraged to get inside their cars for safety. Please avoid any metal.

C. Air Quality: For air quality decisions, the LOFM will use the Tualatin Bradbury Court Station 89 for basis of decision. If air quality reaches Purple or Dark Red Air Quality Index with numerical values ranging from 201-500, all outdoor activities including the Lake Oswego Farmers’ Market will be cancelled.


Indemnification The vendor shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City of Lake Oswego, its officers, agents and employees harmless against all liability, loss, or expenses, including attorney’s fees, and against all claims, actions or judgments based upon or arising out of damage or injury (including death) to persons or property caused by any act or omission of an act sustained in any way in connection with the use of this license or by conditions created thereby, or based upon violation of any statute, ordinance or regulation. This contractual indemnity provision does not abrogate common law or statutory liability and indemnification to the Licensor, but is in addition to such common law or statutory provisions. Exclusion of Damages and Representations

A. The City, its officers, employees, and commissions and committees shall not be liable to the Vendor for any damages of whatsoever character or nature arising out of or related to the Vendor’s application, booth reservation, inventory, or participation in the Market, whether direct, indirect, consequential (including lost profits), or special damages.

B. The City is not liable for acts by third parties or acts of nature, including weather.

C. The City is not liable for lost or stolen property; all risk of loss of Vendor's property shall be that of Vendor.

D.

ARTIST


Specific Guidelines & Requirements for Artists

A. Submission of application does not imply acceptance into the Market. All

applicants are juried.

B. Selection Criteria: The Lake Oswego Farmers’ Market is primarily a food and agricultural based Market, thus Artist participation is determined by strict criteria. Artists are selected that produce unique, finely crafted and superior quality products. All goods must be handmade, creative, imaginative, innovative, and have strong artistic form. Artists must have high standards of professionalism. Previous Market experience is preferred. Strong website and social media presence is also considered. Additionally, Artists are selected that are appropriate for the Farmers’ Market venue and fit the overall vision of the Market. Goods selected must be reasonably priced and affordable to the LOFM audience (“reasonable prices” are determined by the Market Management team). Furthermore, efforts are made to select vendors whose products are created locally and made with locally sourced goods.

C. The electricity at Millennium Plaza Park is extremely limited. Due to this, Artists

are not granted access to power.

D. Because the Lake Oswego Farmers’ Market is primarily an agricultural Market, artist participation is limited. Typically, accepted artists only receive approximately one or two dates per Market season.

E. Fees: The booth fee for accepted Artists is $48 for a 10’ x 10’ stall space. PREPAYMENT IS REQUIRED prior to the scheduled participation date(s). Except in emergencies, any withdrawals will result in a $10 cancellation fee. In addition, vendors forfeit their stall payment in entirety if the Market Manager is not informed of a cancellation by noon on Wednesday prior to Saturday Market.

F. The City reserves the right to adopt additional rules relating to vendor participation in the Market or to modify these rules. The additional or modified rules shall be effective 1 week following delivery of a copy of the revised or additional rules to the vendor or 1 week following the date of mailing by regular mail to the vendor. Continued participation in the Market by the vendor shall be deemed assent to the revised rules.


CITY GOVERNMENT


Specific Guidelines & Requirements for City Government

A. Participants may use their booth space to promote their organization.

B. If City participants elect to sell products, the goods must first be approved by the

Market Manager. Additionally, City participants are responsible for meeting all health requirements and obtaining any permits and licenses applicable to their products.

C. The electricity at Millennium Plaza Park is extremely limited. Due to this, City participants are not granted access to power.

D. City participants are exempt from application fees and weekly booth fees.


FARMER/ GROWER


Specific Guidelines & Requirements for Farmer/Growers

Farmer/Grower Product Guidelines A. All products must be grown, produced or collected by the vendor in Oregon,

Washington, or Idaho. Products allowed for sale at the Market include but are not limited to: vegetables, fruits, berries, herbs, nuts, flowers, plants, eggs, dairy products and some selected food items which are made by the vendor such as cheese, wine and beer and other alcohols (Please note: Alcohol sold at the Market may only be purchased for off-site consumption. Tastings are permitted with required licensing for those 21 years and older but alcohol may not be sold by the glass). It is our preference to have a variety of products offered, with little or no duplication.

B. Hemp and CBD products are permitted at LOFM under the following conditions:

• Admission of hemp and CBD products is based on state and federal law. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) require registration of all industrial hemp growers and handlers. LOFM requires those registrations to be verified before the products can be sold at the Market.

• LOFM will accept hemp/CBD products ONLY if derived from registered Oregon growers.

• Hemp or CBD added to food or dietary supplements for human consumption is illegal under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and thus prohibited at the Market. Exceptions to this include hulled hemp seed, hemp seed protein powder and hemp seed oil added to food or dietary supplements for human consumption as hemp seeds do not naturally contain THC or CBD.

• Hemp or CBD added to cosmetic products is allowed and defined as (1) articles intended to be rubbed, poured, sprinkled or sprayed on, introduced into or otherwise applied to the human body or any port thereof for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance and (2) articles intended for use as a component of any such articles; except that such term not include soap.

• Hemp or CBD products cannot be the vendor’s sole product. The vendor must offer additional products free of Hemp and CBD.

• All ingredients in the product must be labeled or include information on hemp testing results for pesticides, solvents and potency.

• All vendors shall observe and abide by all federal and state regulations regarding Hemp and CBD products. Vendors have the sole responsibility to abide and comply with regulations imposed by any lawful governmental authority.

LOFM is for farm fresh, locally grown products and not an outlet for resale of wholesale produce. Vendors are allowed to supplement their own products with other locally grown products as long as the vendor grows at least 75% by value of the overall product that they offer for sale at LOFM in the current Market season. Vendors are asked on the application to name anticipated farms that they may sell for during the season. All


produce not grown or produced by the vendor must be labeled with a sign indicating origin of product. The displayed sign must be at least 8.5” x 11”. Should concerns arise regarding adherence to this policy the Market Manager will inform grower of concern and may schedule a visit to the farm. Challenges may be made for products not adhering to the 75/25% rule for poor quality or for misrepresentation of product. The Market Manager may employ the services of qualified person(s) to determine legitimacy of 75% overall product production. If a violation is found after the investigation, a written warning will be issued for a one-week suspension. If a second offense occurs, the Farmer/Grower forfeits the stall space for the remainder of the year. No refund will be made in the event of forfeiture.

B. Farmer/Grower Vendors are required to display a sign identifying their farm or business by name and the location the farm.

This rule accommodates three areas of concern: 1. The rule allows vendors and Market staff to monitor the 75% grown rule, 2. The rule helps assure that no product is from wholesale product Markets, 3. The rule educates the public on where their food is coming from, expanding their knowledge of local farms that they can support. Market staff may visit vendors at their production locations to confirm compliance to the percentage rule. Signage must be securely attached to booth or stall as not to interfere or impede foot traffic.

C. Plant vendors must propagate bedding and landscape plants and flowers (live or cut), seed, cuttings, bulbs, plugs or plant divisions. All plants must sell in standard, non-decorative nursery containers, unless specific request has been made and approved.

D. The Market will allow a limited number of booths that offer services and information for cooks or gardeners, including Master Gardeners.

E. All products sold at LOFM must be of superior quality.

Selection Criteria for Farmers/Grower Vendors Submission of application does not imply acceptance into LOFM. Participants are not selected on a first-come, first-serve basis. Applicants are juried. Every applicant is reviewed annually. Participation in previous years does not guarantee acceptance in future years (although LOFM is loyal to returning vendors whom staff has created a positive relationship with). Additionally, various aspects are considered in the decision-making process, including the following:

A. The suitability of the product to the goals and purposes of LOFM.

B. Number of duplicated items in the Market.


C. Farmer/Growers must be growing at least 75% of the product that they are selling at the Market and be able to show documentation of farm location and products grown.

D. Previous Market experience (either at LOFM or at other venues): If applicable, this includes a vendor’s past performance and cooperation with other Market vendors, Market Manager, staff, and inspectors.

E. Booth display, cleanliness and signage appropriate to the Market venue will be considered.

F. Goods selected must be reasonably priced and affordable to the LOFM audience (“reasonable prices” are determined by the Market Management team).

Product Sampling Procedures

All Farmer/Growers serving or offering samples of food must abide by Oregon Department of Agriculture rules including the following:

1. The Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) requires a hand-washing unit

with a faucet to rinse knives, platters and both hands simultaneously. 2. All sample produce must be thoroughly washed in a mild soap solution using

Dr. Bronner’s soap or comparable food grade soaps and then rinsed with clean water.

3. Designate one knife (no folding knives) for cutting. Clean the knife thoroughly prior to cutting into each new piece of fruit.

4. Always keep a supply of paper towels on hand (preferably recycled). 5. All samples must be served with toothpicks, reducing the opportunity for

multiple contacts. 6. Refill produce platters only after all previous produce is gone and the platter

is rinsed clean. 7. Clean your hands between each step.

Millennium Plaza Park has a kitchen on its premises. This facility does not replace a separate hand-washing unit at your site, but you are welcome to use the kitchen throughout the Market day.

Market staff will visit your booth space occasionally during the Market season to insure these health safety standards are being followed. If you have any questions relating to health and safety issues, please contact the Market Manager or staff immediately. Copies of the ODA Food Sanitation Guidelines are available upon request. Compliance with Government Regulations and Organic Certification.

A. Vendors shall observe and abide by all laws, rules and regulations imposed by any lawful governmental authority and relating in any way to any activity conducted on the premises. The vendor’s agents and employees must also abide by these laws while on premise.


B. Vendors are responsible for complying with state and local health and licensing regulations governing the production and sale of their products. Vendors who fail to comply with applicable state and local regulations may be subject to removal from the Market and forfeiture of stall fees.

C. Vendors are required to submit documentation of licenses to the Market Manager prior to the start of the Market season. Applicable licenses may include:

1. Cheese/Dairy: ODA Dairy Processor’s License. 2. Farmer/Grower: ODA Certified Scales License for each scale you intend

The National Organic Program is operated by the United States Department of Agriculture. Certified organizations include Oregon Tilth, the Oregon Department of Agriculture and the Washington Department of Agriculture. Vendors may not use “certified organic” wording to describe product unless it has been certified.

7. Hemp/CBD: ODA Hemp Growers registrations and handlers permit. Hemp testing results form.

E. The City reserves the right to adopt additional rules relating to vendor participation in the Market or to modify these rules. The additional or modified rules shall be effective 1 week following delivery of a copy of the revised or additional rules to the vendor or 1 week following the date of mailing by regular mail to the vendor.

HOT FOODS


Specific Guidelines & Requirements for Hot Food Vendors

Hot Food Vendor Product Guidelines & Selection Criteria A. Submission of application does not imply acceptance into LOFM. Participants are not selected on a first-come, first-serve basis. Applicants are juried and reviewed annually. Participation in previous years does not guarantee acceptance in future years (although LOFM is loyal to returning vendors whom staff has created a positive relationship with). Additionally, various aspects are considered in the decision-making process, including the following:

1. The suitability of the product to the goals and purposes of the Market. Preference may be given to those vendors who provide healthy and nutritious fare.

2. Products sold at LOFM must be of superior quality. 3. It is our preference to have a variety of products offered, with little or

no duplication. 4. Ethnic foods must be authentic. 5. Previous Market experience (either at LOFM or at other venues). If

applicable, this includes a vendor’s past performance and cooperation with other Market vendors, Market Manager, staff, and county inspectors.

6. Booth display, cleanliness and product signage appropriate to the Market venue will be considered.

7. The vendor’s commitment to ensuring that all environmental aspects are considered will also be evaluated.

8. Product promotion and Marketing principles. Compliance with Government Regulations & Food Guidelines
