How do I register for the market?

To register, click on the "Tickets" or "Book Now" button for the market you'd like to attend. Complete the form online.

• All applications are subject to approval. Approvals are not instantaneous.

• Once approved, you will receive a payment link to secure your space.

I texted you that I was interested; why can't I just show up and pay on the day of the Market?

All registrations must be completed through this website.

• Your registration automatically updates our spreadsheet. If you don’t register, you won’t appear on the sheet, and we won’t have a record of your attendance.

What's a CoI and why do I need one?

A Certificate of Insurance (COI) is required to ensure vendors have liability coverage in case of accidents or damages. This protects both the vendors and the market.

My application was not approved. Why?

If your application was declined, it means:

1. The market is full.

2. We’ve reached the quota for your product/service type.
   Example: Some markets don’t allow food vendors.

What do I bring to the market with me?

• Canopy (for outdoor markets)

• Tables

• Table coverings (must reach the floor)

• Chair

• Product displays

• Your products

I registered and paid for my space. What happens next?

After registering and paying, you will:

1. Receive a confirmation email from us.

2. Receive a setup email and event graphic to advertise the market on social media (3 days before the event).
   If you don’t receive the setup email, contact Jenn at hearherellcnj@gmail.com.

Can I join a waiting list if the market is full?

No, we do not have waiting lists. All markets are booked on a first-come, first-served basis.

Why do I have to advertise?

Advertising is a group effort that benefits everyone.

• Most followers of Hear Here events are vendors, not buyers. Sharing the event with your audience helps attract customers interested in your products.

• Advertising (paid and free) is done in advance and continues throughout the market day.

Tip: Share the event graphic and tag:

• @howellfarmersmarket

• @matawanfarmersmarket

• @seabrightfarmartisanmarket

• @allenhurstfarmersmarket

• @atlantichighlandsfarmersmarket

• Or tag @hearherellcnj for a repost!

For Food Vendors Only:

Food vendors must comply with local, county, and state health board requirements.
Submit the following (if applicable):

• Commissary Kitchen: Food Protection Manager Certificate, satisfactory kitchen inspection

• Commercial Kitchen: Manager’s letter (if not the owner), satisfactory kitchen inspection

• Cottage Food Operator: Food Protection Manager Certificate, CFO permit

I sent money directly via Zelle, PayPal or Venmo. Does that mean I'm registered?

No, you are not registered. Registration is only completed via the online application on this website.

What happens if I need help during the market?

If you need assistance, find Jenn, the Organizer.

• Jenn acts as the liaison between vendors and the venue and can address any market-related issues.
