What a farmers market vendor website needs to do
Market customers decide in the aisle and forget in the car. A short, searchable website gives them a way to find you again: where you will be this week, what is in season and how to pre-order the things that sell out.
People searching for a farmers market vendor usually decide in seconds. Your site should answer the questions below before they have to ask.
Find your next market
A schedule of dates and locations
Pre-order for pickup
Secures sales and reduces waste
See what is in season
Seasonality is the product
Contact for wholesale
Restaurants and shops are repeat buyers
Timing matters. Your calendar follows the growing season, so list which markets you attend and what is ripe each month.
The pages a farmers market vendor website needs
A farmers market vendor site does not need dozens of pages. It needs the right few, each doing one job:

- ✓Products and seasons — what you grow or make and when
- ✓Pre-order and pickup — more predictable sales
- ✓Wholesale — a second revenue line
- ✓Our story and the farm — the story behind the table
Need a page for every service or town you cover? The larger packages give you room to grow.
