Protect What You Sell — And Yourself
If you’re selling food at the market, personal liability insurance is strongly encouraged. It’s all about keeping things safe for you and your customers. Selling handmade or non-edible items? While insurance isn’t mandatory, we highly recommend it to protect your products and give you peace of mind.
Why does it matter? Accidents can happen—like a pop-up tent blowing over and damaging a car or breaking a nearby window. With liability insurance, you’re protected from unexpected costs and stress, so you can focus on selling your products at market!
To help make coverage easy and affordable, we’ve partnered with Westland Insurance to offer vendor insurance starting at just $25.75 per event. Prefer more flexibility? Westland also offers a variety of different sized packages that keep you covered no matter when or where you vend.
We are committed to supporting our vendors every step of the way. This page brings together frequently asked questions and essential resources to help you prepare for market days, understand requirements, and make the most of your experience.
