The primary focus of Newton Farmers’ Market is Iowa grown produce and other farm items— all other merchandise will be limited at the discretion of Newton Main Street Board/Management. Merchandise available for sale must be produced or grown in your individual home or business.  Mass produced or franchised items including Avon, Mary Kay, Pampered Chef and Tupperware, etc. will not be allowed. Newton Main Street reserves the right to refuse acceptance of any vendor or item that is not in keeping with the rules or quality of the Newton Farmers’ Market. 

Vendors the Newton Farmers’ Market include are defined below:

• Produce: Certified organic produce, chemical free produce, and Iowa home grown produce. Produce grown outside of Iowa will be allowed only when such items are not in-season locally.  Out-of-state produce must be pre-approved when such items are in-season locally.

• Plants & Floral Products:  Fresh and dried flowers, seeds and potted plants.

• Meat, Dairy & Eggs:  Farm raised meat, dairy, and egg products, such as beef, chicken, turkey, cheese, milk, ice cream, eggs, etc.

• Specialty Food Items:  Specialty homemade food items that are not considered baked goods, including honeys, mustards, salsas, jams and other homemade food items.

• Crafts: Homemade home décor items (candles, soaps, handmade jewelry, and other art items).  Because the crafts category is very broad, it is important to maintain a high level of quality for our market.  All vendors in this category must include adequate photos of each type of item that will be sold in each booth when you apply online.

• Prepared Foods: Ready-to-eat items such as sandwiches, cooked items, and snack items.  A complete menu must be submitted with the application and no additions may be made once your application is approved. Space for this category is limited to a maximum of 20 vendors in order to maintain the integrity of the market.

• Not-for-Profits: If you are a local organization that has information to share, please contact Newton Main Street.
