If you are selling your own produce there are no restrictions. In order to be fair to our local growers, no wholesalers or resellers are allowed. This is a producers only market.

If you are selling ready-to-eat food or baked goods you must follow the "Uninspected Food Processors" guidelines provided by Johnson County Community Health Services shown below.

If you are selling your own crafts there are no restrictions. If your crafts were purchased elsewhere and you are reselling them, you will need to obtain a retail license from the City of Holden.

If you are selling eggs you must have an Egg License issued by the State. The applications for licenses are available for download below.

If you are selling animals, they must be kept in cages or in the stalls provided at our location.

There is NO CHARGE to participate, but you must register in advance by sending an email with your name, address, telephone number and list of items you will be selling to info@holdenmarket.com. You can also register at the market on Saturday mornings.

This is a farmers' market, not a flea market. Please do not bring flea market type items to sell.

All Sellers will need to provide their own tables, chairs, scales or display items.

Booth location is based on first come first serve basis. Our location will accomodate selling out of the bed of your truck or car trunk. Selling in the parking lot is not permitted except when no other space is available.
