LIABILITY
The KRFMA / POFM disclaims any and all liability that may arise from the sale of goods by the vendors or by the conduct of the
vendors. The KRFMA / POFM in no way guarantees the marketability or fitness of the vendors’ goods, nor does KRFMA / POFM
guarantee the success of the vendor’s efforts. Members will be accepted based on residency within the Greater Kitsap Peninsula
boundaries, market product balance, and seniority.
The signer of this contract agrees to hold the KRFMA / POFM harmless for any problems that may arise from the vendors’ use of the
property occupied by the farmers markets.
CANOPY REQUIREMENT - All vendors who wish to erect canopies (including umbrellas) on the Farmers Market site during a normal
period of market operations, including the set up and break down period, are required to have their canopies sufficiently and safely
anchored to the ground from the time their canopy is put up to the time it is taken down. Any vendor who fails to properly anchor his
or her canopy will not be allowed to sell at the Farmers Market on that market day, unless that vendor chooses to take down and
stow their canopy and sell without it.
Each canopy leg must have no less than 24# (pounds) anchoring each leg, and market
umbrellas, 50#.
LIABILITY -
Vendor assumes responsibility for any insurance deductible or other charge made against the KRFMA / POFM resulting
from damage to persons or property by their canopy, umbrella, displays or products.
VENDOR will follow all procedures & rules outlined in the current Vendor Guide, including but not limited to:
1. Arrive at the market site in time to unload, move vehicle & set up before market opens
2. Park my vehicle(s) in vendor designated parking areas only
3. Follow market manager & staff instructions
4. Honestly report daily sales made at my booth
5. I have downloaded or was given a printed copy of the Vendor Guide - Market Rules & Bylaws. I agree to follow all policies,
rules & bylaws in the Vendor Guide and make sure anyone working at my booth does as well.
6. Accept all market tokens and vouchers that apply to your products (EBT, Credit, Debit, FreshBucks)
7. Abide by the Canopy Requirement of 25 pounds of weight on each leg of my booth’s canopy, and 50 pounds of weight for a
market umbrella, or more if needed. (see http://wafarmersmarkets.org/resource-file/CanopySafety101.pdf for info & ideas)
All vendors agree to have a POFM Site Visit Committee visit vendor’s physical production or farm locations to verify they
are producing or growing their products per WSFMA and POFM policies.
It is the responsibility of all members to familiarize themselves with, and follow the policies and procedures in this
Member/Vendor Guide, including the POFM Market Rules and ByLaws.

farmers who may live and farm anywhere in Washington State. We do give preference to Kitsap County
farmers but strive to maintain a diverse and broad range of Washington farm products at the market.
New Arts and Crafts Vendors (or new product lines from returning vendors) are reviewed by the Arts & Crafts
Screening Committee. Items must be handcrafted by the person selling them. This can be done before or after
a membership or board meeting or on Saturday before market opens, or if you prefer, you can email
your Screening application and product photos. It is best to call before applying to make sure we have
space for your product category. Depending on the type of product(s), a site visit may be performed in order
to confirm local production of said product(s). You will be contacted quickly to review your application.
Returning Reserved Vendors may pay your first half season fee now (see Stall Schedule Form to calculate
days less any “waived” days) to keep the same space you had last season. See the Vendor Guide and Stall
Schedule Form for more information.
