Dear Farmer's Marketer: This is what you need to know to be a seller
at the Windsor Certified Farmers Market.
Paper work:
The manager needs copies of the
following:
1. CERTIFIED
GROWERS: A Certified
Producers Certificate (CPC) obtained at the Agricultural Commissioner's
Office ~ 133 Aviation Blvd. Suite 110, Santa Rosa 95403 (Airport
Area.) Phone # 565-2371. If you have a 2006 CPC and have no
changes, a phone call will do. Please allow enough time for the
department to process your application. Sometimes this can take up
to two weeks. You must have the embossed copy at your stall every
market day. The Ag office will give you embossed copies if you attend
other markets on the same day.
2. ORGANIC CERTIFIED
GROWERS:
If your produce is organic, certification with CCOF or registration copy
from Co. Ag. Dept. must be filed with manager and in evidence at your
stall.
3. Fill out the 'Market
Application To Sell' and READ
THE RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE MARKET.
4. The manager's market
file must have a copy of your driver's license and proof of
vehicle liability insurance
, (this concerns only vehicle used at market. If
your license and insurance are still current and you gave me copies last
year, I still have them and you don't need to copy them
again.)
5. PROCESSED and FOOD
VENDORS: Must have public health
permits at point of sale, as well as processing plant documents. A one
million dollar product liability insurance policy must be included with
your application. This will be strictly enforced.
6. CRAFTERS: Those
selling non-edible items (flowers, crafts, for example) must have a
Cal. State Board of Equalization Sellers Permit and must pay taxes to
the state. Manager needs a copy of your sellers permit for
her file. S.B.of E. is located in Santa
Rosa at 50 D Street, Room 215 on the second floor. Telephone # is
576-2100. Due to our long waiting list for Crafters, it is important to
let the manager know well in advance the markets that you will not be
attending. A flat fee of $30 will be assessed to craft vendors who
do not show up on market day with a possibility that you will be put on
the bottom of the waiting
list.
7. CERTIFIED GROWERS LOAD
LISTS:
The State of California requires that load lists
be given to the manager reflecting individual sales of the Certified
Grower each market day. The market will be fined if they
do not comply with the collection and retention of these lists.
You will find this form on the back of your daily report of sales
sheet that the manager will give you each market.
8. VENDOR
FEES:
a. Certified
Growers: 10% of your daily gross sales. Cap set at $30 per Market. The market will pay your .60 for State Assembly Bill #593.
b. Ag/Non
Certified: 10% of your daily gross sales. Cap set at $30 per market.
c.
Crafts: $20 flat fee per market per market space
d. A $25 yearly processing fee will be
collected by the market. This fee assists the market with Special
Events, Festivals, Music, market parties, and the CDFA Certified
Grower Fees paid by the market for the growers.
9.INSURANCE
INFORMATION:
Our Insurance Company provides $1 million dollar
coverage to the market organization only ~ NOT to any property
belonging to the market, its board members or any member
participant. Individual participants/vendors are responsible
for their own insurance coverage. They should carry liability
insurance for their particular exposures. (Note:
Carrying liability insurance for yourself is a decision you must make. This market does not require you to have coverage. Excerpt from our Insurance Company's letter is to inform you that you are not covered by the market's policy.)
HAVE FUN
: Enjoy the moment! Share the day with your
family, friends, and peers. Enjoy the music, chef demonstrations,
and the beauty of the surroundings. A lot of work has gone into this
market by the Town of Windsor, Market Management, and your Board of
Directors.
