We require that all of our food vendors follow the same guidelines as the food we sell in the store. This would include things like: no artificial colors/flavors, high fructose corn syrup, msg, or hydrogenated/partially hydrogenated oils.
As you are probably aware, it is our mission to buy, sell and cook with local food to support a just and sustainable food system that allows local farmers and food makers (like you!) to thrive. As a potential food participant in our Flea, we will heavily favor vendors that are using local ingredients (like eggs and dairy) from a local farmer and not from industrial factory farms. We realize the cost may seem prohibitive, but the cost of our community not supporting farmers is way higher, and our customers trust us to always do what we can to highlight and support farmers.
If you need help sourcing items, our Food Hub does wholesale thousands of local items to local businesses and restaurants and we'd be happy to help direct you to alternate sources too.
