Neighborhood Market

​Information 

Food vendors operating at an approved Neighborhood Market are required to obtain a vendor permit. If one of the following is provided.

  • Open food items that are larger than a bite-sized sample.
  • Food items that require temperature control for safety (TCS).  TCS foods must be maintained cold or hot for food safety

Vendors offering only whole, uncut produce that does not require refrigeration do not need a neighborhood market vendor permit. Also, vendors that provide a bite-sized sample of a Non – TCS food item do not require a permit.
