Attachments Vinton Farmers’ Market Policy Resolution Recommendations Motion to adopt Resolution Town Council Agenda Summary 1 VINTON FARMERS’ MARKET POLICY – 2014 The Vinton Farmers’ Market is located on Lee Avenue in downtown Vinton. Since 1988 the market has provided a convenient location for local farmers to sell fresh produce, home-made baked goods, meat, eggs, jam and jellies, greenery, handmade crafts, flowers and plants. The Vinton Farmers’ Market features twenty-three four covered stalls with tables for vendors and forty-four free parking spaces for customers. The market area also features a permanent stage at which concerts and special events are held throughout the year. Special events are held to promote the market, the vendors, the downtown area , and the Vinton community. The market is owned and operated by the Town of Vinton. The market is supervised by the Town of Vinton Special Programs Coordinator, Mary Beth Layman, (540-983-0613), 814 E. Washington Ave., Vinton, Virginia 24179, mblayman@vintonva.gov. Merchandise That Can Be Sold The following items may be sold at the Farmers’ Market. Locally grown produce. This policy encourages the sale of "Locally Grown" and "Virginia Grown" produce and products. All vendors must sell only what they personally grow/produce on their own property or leased property, unless otherwise permitted by this policy. Growing is defined as "the complete care- feeding, tending, harvesting, cleaning, and hauling of the product in the season that it is sold.

However, those products must still meet the "locally grown by a local farmer" requirements. Purchases may not be made from a commercial produce wholesaler and must be made directly from the local grower/producer/pick your own establishment.
