Rules, Regulations & Policies

Portland Farmers Market (PFM) has created a comprehensive Vendor Handbook for 2023 that clearly outlines all of the rules, regulations, and other important information for vendors at our markets.

Vendors are expected to abide by all of the rules outlined in this handbook at all times. It is essential to read and understand the entire Vendor Handbook 2023.

Commonly Used Forms

PFM has created the following forms for vendor success and compliance:

• New Product Submission Form
• Ingredient Sourcing Form
• Agricultural Practices Form
• Foraging and Fishing Verification Form
• ACH Authorization Form
• Durable Dining Audit Form

PFM management has created protocols and procedures that allow vendors to lodge complaints against other vendors whom they think are out of compliance with market rules and policies. This helps PFM regulate food safety, products sold and operational security.

To file a vendor concern or product challenge, complete the appropriate form and return it to PFM market management:

• Vendor Concern Form
• Product Challenge Form

All of these forms can also be found in our Vendor Handbook for 2023.
