As part of the application review process, the Hamilton Farmers’ Market Manager may ask to visit studios/businesses of vendors to ensure the product is hand-produced locally and/or request receipts of original raw materials purchased for the production of artisan goods. All food vendors must have their food prepared in a commercial kitchen.
PLEASE NOTE: Each new application will undergo our review process, which typically takes 2 to 4 weeks before we provide a response.
