Summer Market Vendor Info!

Hello Fellow Farmers’ Market Vendors!

The Summer Market is quickly approaching, and with the success of Casper’s first-ever, Winter Market, we are getting excited! We have been researching and brainstorming, and can’t wait to show you the great things that are going to take place this summer! Not only are we waiting approval to accept SNAP (food stamps) at our Farmers Market, but we also want to begin highlighting vendors of the market each week, by putting information about your booth or business on the website to promote YOU and what YOU do.

We encourage you to go to www.marketlink.org/farmers/, where you can apply to not only accept SNAP, but potentially be approved to receive free equipment, a data plan and free service for the first year. This would enable you to accept debit/credit card and SNAP payments! Simply follow the steps, and you will be on your way to endless payment options!

This year, Sheridan will be hosting the 2014 Wyoming Master Gardeners and Wyoming Farmers Marketing Association Joint Conference, which will be held from March 13-15th! Head over to www.uwyo.edu/mastergardener/ to receive more information and register today!

To get you more involved with the Summer Farmers Market this year, we have decided to highlight different vendors each week, to give the community an opportunity to get to know you better! There are a few things we will need from you in order to successfully promote you, both at the market and on our website.
  • Any social media and/or website information
  • Product information that you will be selling at the market
  • Any pictures you would be interested in using to showcase your products
  • “How-to” information about your products i.e. recipes, step-by-step instructions…

We also wanted to provide you with all of our information to enable you in helping us promote the market to make it the best and most successful market we can! The following links include all of our social media pages.

Be sure to check www.casperfarmersmarket.com for the 2014 Summer Market application, which can now be filled out online!

If you have any questions, you can email us from the website, or you can call 307-337-1703.
