Applying to Byrd House Market
Thank you for your interest in vending at the Byrd House Market. As a program of William Byrd Community House, the Grace Arents Free Library and Education Center, its Community Garden and the Byrd House Market, are part of Richmond's oldest continuous social services organization. As such the garden and market are a resource for our students and client families who, like most urban residents, tend to have limited understanding of how food actually gets into their hands. It is our vision that Byrd House Market be a friendly, reliable place to experience the nutritional, entrepreneurial and cultural benefits of farmers markets in an urban setting.
Our application process is entirely online, except for those of
you who do not use the internet and to whom I will mail an application upon request. The $15 application fee applies and the vendor fee is $15 for a standard 100 square foot space per market day.
We will accept applications for Fill-In Vendors throughout the season, and you will be "wait-listed" until a spot comes available. Most Fill-In Vendor spots open up when a permanent vendor schedules time away or when something comes up. If you are testing or incubating a new food or nonfood artisan item, please call so we can discuss your product and scheduling an umbrella spot for up to 3 market days.
Thank you again for considering Byrd House Market. I am happy to welcome back many of our long-time vendors and welcome to the fold those who will join us for the first time this season. We look forward to reviewing your application!
Sincerely,
Ana Edwards, Manager
Byrd House Market and Library Programs
