NO APPROVAL NECESSARY!
In order to register for 2020 F&E managed markets and events (Linden Hills Farmers' Market, included), businesses must re-new or become an F&E member annually. Businesses are required to re-apply every year, as permits, insurance and tax forms must be re-filed annually.
*Membership replaces the "application" process from previous years.
As you get to know us - we want to get to know you! Please provide a few details about your talents and what you plan to promote or to sell with us, along with your website info, social media profiles and any imagery that best describes your business. To help you spend less time filling out forms, and more time at market - we've changed our application to an annual membership. By becoming a member early in the year, you get advance notice of upcoming market registrations, lowered stall fees and are provided opportunities to meet, mingle and learn from your fellow cohort. Then when you are ready to sell, you simply upload those below required documents. Easy & fast!

All members before selling with our markets are required to documents to conform to city ordinances and state laws. These three forms are: MN ST 19 tax form, a city/state approved food permit to sell, and an insurance form listing F&E as a certificate holder. Any member that does not provide these documents before their first date of sales will forfeit their membership fee and any registration fees. These documents help protect your business and must be submitted annually.
Any business selling food and/or beverages are required to carry a permit to legally do so at our markets. Farmers are not required to carry a permit to sell in the State of Minnesota. More information about permits can be found here: City of Minneapolis, State of Minnesota and/or Minnesota Department of Agriculture Cottage Food Registration.
All vendors are required to carry liability insurance to sell at our markets. This helps protects you and your business. More information about insurance can be found here. Frank & Ernest Foods, 2036 Highland Parkway, St. Paul, 55116 must be listed as a certificate holder. For a sample form, go here. Please go to your insurance carrier to secure this certificate.
All vendors are required to upload a Minnesota ST-19 Tax Form. That form can be found here. Please list Frank & Ernest Foods as the operator of the event. A business ID is not required to submit this form.
This fee is not reimbursable in most cases. If you have questions, please read through our FAQs pages or contact us.
