Suwanee Farmers Market Preparing for 2013 Run

A key meeting and deadline is near. The twice-weekly markets begin in May.

The popular Suwanee Farmers Market is gearing up for its 2013 run, and those interested in participating must act soon.

Vendor applications are due by Monday, March 18, and that will also be the date of the annual meeting at City Hall at 7 p.m., according to a city news release.

The city normally receives more applications than can be accommodated by available vendor space. Some rules for vendors: All products sold at Suwanee markets must be grown or made by the applicant; no re-selling of goods is permitted. Also, vendors who sell products requiring state licenses must possess current licenses issued by the appropriate agencies.

Farmers who can provide fresh produce as well as vendors with other items -- such as jams, breads, honey, meat products, eggs, flowers, and more -- are invited to apply, the release said.

Full guidelines and applications are available on the city website.
