Stallholder questions
How can I become a stallholder?
If you are a farmer or food producer in South Australia selling edible produce, we would love to hear from you to see if we can accommodate you at the market! There is a waitlist for many products, however we encourage you to complete the checklist and if your product meets the Stallholder Criteria, please complete an online Expression of Interest form. Find more information on how to Become a Stallholder.
Can I sell arts and crafts at the Market?
As we are a genuine farmers' market, our focus is on providing a food only environment for the public to buy food directly from local farmers’ and food producers, therefore we don't have stalls selling arts and crafts.
I’m a not-for-profit, can have a stall at the market?
The Adelaide Farmers' Market provides a Community Stall site for registered charities, incorporated not-for-profit organisations, education groups and other community groups or organisations. Contact us if you're interested in the Community Stall. The stall site is subject to availability and approval by our Market Manager.
