Farmer applications are usually reviewed  within 2 weeks unless there is a waitlist in their category. Example: Egg farmers, meat farmers & lettuce/microgreen farmers.

1. Once the Vendor Committee and Market Manager Reviews and accepts a New Farmer a farm site visit must be completed before they can be scheduled for their interview weekend.
   
2. Farm Visits can be done in person or virtually may be scheduled in the event that on-site visits will not work. 
3. Every 2 years thereafter a follow-up farm visit will be conducted to ensure farmers are growing what they are bringing to the market weekly. 
4. Any sites utilized for production & storage must be made available for their site visit.
