2025 AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS VENDOR APPLICATION

WELCOME TO THE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS VENDOR APPLICATION

The purpose of the Agricultural Products Area is to present and promote family farms selling agricultural products and suppliers of products used in agricultural production. This Area provides fairgoers access to Maine-based products, agricultural services, and equipment. The CGCF also welcomes non-farm businesses with agricultural interests. Area Coordinators give preference to family farms that produce their own products.

If you are a business that caters to and contributes to the sustainability of small fiber farms or you are a family farm that produces goods on your farm from animals that you raise, please apply to the Maine Fiber Farms and Marketplace.

The determination of the most appropriate area for your business is a personalized process and largely driven by each area’s guidelines. If you have questions about which area you should apply to, email commonground@mofga.org or call us at 207-568-6041.
