The RDFM is a growers-only Market, representing over 80 local farmers who rotate seasonally at our summer and winter venues; many of our growers are present every Market Saturday during the year, and some are early-or-late-summer only, depending on their crops.  Applications are now being accepted for the 2010 summer season; if you are interested in applying to be a vendor, or would like more information about our requirements, please contact us.
