FAQs

How can I become a vendor, artist, musician, or participate in Community Day at Lansdowne Farmer's Market?

Your marketing material says rain or shine. Do you mean that? What if the weather is really bad?

We’ve never cancelled a Saturday Market despite some pretty horrendous weather. Many of our vendors are cooking and baking for days leading up to Saturday, so cancelling on Friday can be a major expense for them. What we are more likely to do in terrible weather is proceed as scheduled but close an hour or two early, so serious shoppers get a chance to brave the weather and come out on the early side and do some shopping. That said, we don’t want anyone to get hurt or equipment to be damaged, which is another good reason to get to liking us on Facebook.

Where can I park if I drive to the Farmers Market?

The Market actually takes place in a parking lot, the one on Lansdowne Avenue, but it does fill up. The addition of The Landing to the parking lot in 2017 took out a row of parking spaces, so now chances are even slimmer of snagging a slot there. We’d love it if more people started parking in the Highland Avenue lot, next to the firehouse; you can cut through the fence from the lot and come out near the back of the Lansdowne Theater, so it’s a short walk to the LFM. Parking is free in both lots during the Market on Saturdays, as well as on Lansdowne Avenue. Owen Avenue, the street right “behind” the Market, is also a good bet for on-street parking. Just be careful not to block any driveways, which will get you towed. Please don’t park in the lot behind the Burger Bank unless you’re going there before or after the Market.

I’ve seen people signing up for something at the Market. What’s that about?

They’re signing up to receive Fresh Picks, the official e-newsletter of the Lansdowne Farmers Market. It goes out every Thursday during the Market season and highlights vendors and products, includes recipes and ideas for using Market goods, and lists the Artist and Musician of the Week, among other Market-related info. It also promotes other things going on around Lansdowne — music, movies, fundraisers, dinners, parades, art shows, even parties, so it’s worth reading. Once the Market ends for the season, Fresh Picks morphs into Discover Lansdowne, which comes out monthly and focuses on just the around-Lansdowne happenings, including the Winter Markets, which occur on the third Saturday from December through April. These e-newsletters are a good way to keep your finger on Lansdowne’s pulse, which is really picking up, as you may have noticed.

How can I help out at the Market?

Although we have a solid committee behind the Market, we could almost always use an extra hand to set up or break down the Market each Saturday. Setup starts shortly around 7:45 am and breakdown starts at 1:00 pm. You can just show up. We’re out of LFM lawn signs, but if you already have one, please remember to display it. We also encourage you to spread the word through whatever social media you like. The Market is self-sustaining from the fees for the vendor spots and the fundraisers we do each year, but if you’re in a position to make a cash donation, that’d be more than welcome, as we try to have as many of the special events be free as possible. Any donations are tax-deductible because the Market is organized under the auspices of the nonprofit (LEDC). If you’re interested, just let us know at [email protected].

What are those wooden coins I see people spending at the Market and how do I get some?

Those are our Market Bucks, which are worth a dollar at any vendor at the Market, spent just like cash. They’re a little thank-you from the Market and LEDC. We give them out at the Manager tent when you do something easy we encouraged you to do in Fresh Picks, the e-newsletter (like bring us a recipe or wear an LFM T-shirt) or when you do something nice for the Market, and we love to give them to new customers who stop to introduce themselves, and to you too if you bring a new customer and introduce them to us.

Where can I learn more about the Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) & Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP)?

I think that’s all I was wondering. But what if another question occurs to me when I’m at the Market?

Just go to the Market Manager tent and ask there. There are typically a number of volunteers hanging around to answer questions or at least refer you to someone who can answer. Plus, we allow our sponsors, churches, schools, and other nonprofits to put business cards and announcements and flyers and what have you at the Manager tent so that shoppers can get info even if they don’t have questions. It’s always worth stopping by the Market Manager tent.
