If you join towards beginning of the year, the yearly stall fee is $125 + $25 membership for $150 and you can set up every week, 52 weeks a year.
​
If you want a reserved grass space, so you get the same space every week on the lawn, that is an additional $25 on top of the Membership and Yearly Stall Fee so the total is $125 + $25 membership fee +$25 Reserved Grass for a total of $175.
​
If at the beginning of the year there is a Pavillion space available you could pay for a resesrved pavillion spot and that total cost is $200. However this might not be an option unless a spot under the pavillion becomes available.
3 / What can be sold?
Allowed items to be sold include all fruits and vegetables grown by you and or your immediate family in Florida or within fifty miles of Marianna if out of state. Also cut flowers, herbs, and other plants without roots/soil.
4/ What about Cottage Food?
Florida law allows individuals to use their unlicensed home kitchens to produce for sale certain foods that present a low risk of foodborne illness. Cottage food operators can produce and sell these products directly to consumers without obtaining a food permit from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Gross sales for a cottage food operation must not exceed $250,000 annually.
