Build Your Customer Base
Our markets are more than a place to sell—they’re a platform to grow your brand and customer base. Small businesses across the region use our markets as a way to connect with loyal shoppers, gain exposure, and build lasting community relationships.
Grow Beyond Our Markets
Many of the businesses and makers in our markets have gone on to open brick-and-mortar stores and expand into larger operations. By supporting small businesses, our markets contribute to the growth and transformation of downtowns across New Jersey, providing a foundation where entrepreneurs can thrive.

Frequently Asked Questions
We typically receive anywhere from a few dozen to 100+ applications per week that we personally review so please be patient if we do not respond immediately.
In fact, last year we received over 2500 applications.
We take the time to review each and every one individually, sometimes multiple times, to ensure that we're able to provide a high-quality experience for our attendees.
While we love being able to support so many amazing businesses and creators, it can be tough for our small team to keep up with the volume of applications we receive.
That's why we've introduced a nominal application fee - it helps us dedicate additional resources to the review process and also helps deter individuals who may not be serious about participating or who submit multiple applications.
In addition to credit card payments, we also offer financing options for our seasonal plans through ACH payments.
This means that instead of paying for your seasonal plan upfront, you can make automatic payments over time using your bank account.
We hope this helps, and we look forward to working with you!
We strongly encourage (i.e. require) anyone looking to sell with us to review them in detail.
We encourage (i.e. require) all vendors to review it prior to selling with us and please be aware that we will enforce it.
For things like candles, soaps, and jewelry there are a lot of makers looking to sell and not a lot of space.
If your application is still pending we haven’t reviewed it yet. Once it is reviewed, we will notify you via email and text message whether is was approved or rejected.
Do others consider you a 'nice person'?
If so, chances are that we'd love to work with you.
You should be prepared for possible rain showers during market hours. We recommend having a backup plan to safeguard your products.
If you're unsure, it always helps to DM us on Facebook or Instagram and ask.
Once a market is sold-out we maintain a waitlist in case of cancellations. We then carefully select from that list to fill in the missing categories. We usually have a few cancellations but not many so please keep this in mind.
If your setup requires additional space please contact [email protected] to discuss your options.
Testimonials
Our vendor community is at the heart of everything we do.
I can honestly say that being
a vendor at FRESH markets has changed my life. Being a seasonal vendor for the past two years has given me endless opportunities, but what I love most about it is the community of vendors/managers that quickly become your family. If you’re looking for a community of creatives who love what they do & love supporting others, FRESH markets is the place for you!
FRESH markets team provides a space
which is truly community based! They curate some of the best makers for their events which are always organized and professionally managed. I must have referred over a dozen other vendors to them and I look forward to continue being a part of the community!
Team FRESH is a great company
to work with, they are the cornerstone of my business. The camaraderie with all the vendors is very special, there’s so many incredibly talented artists. I just love them!
Not only do I love selling with
FRESH Markets, but the staff are the most kind and supportive people I have worked with in the market industry!
