Running a farmers market means balancing vendor demand, product variety, and logistics across one or more market sites. The Farmers Market Vendor Application Form Template gives organizers a fast way to collect vendor information, review product fit, and let applicants select a preferred market location using an interactive map.
Exploring the Farmers Market Vendor Application Form Template
This template is deal for market managers, downtown associations, community organizations, and event coordinators who want a consistent intake process. Here’s what you’ll find inside the template:
- Business Name: Captures the vendor’s brand name for listings, booth assignments, and communications.
- Product Descriptions (Paragraph Text): Collects what the vendor sells (e.g., produce, baked goods, etc).
- Contact Details (Name: First + Last): Identifies the primary point of contact for approvals and scheduling.
- Contact Details (Email): Supports application confirmations, acceptance notices, and next-step instructions.
- Contact Details (Phone): Useful for time-sensitive logistics (setup questions, weather changes, etc)
- Choose a Specific Spot (Preferred Market) (Map Field): Lets vendors visually select the market location.
Customizing the Map Experience (Geolocation Addon + Map Field)
Even though the template includes a simple map section, the Map Field can be configured to support more complex multi-market setups.
It requires WPForms Pro or higher license levels and the Geolocation Addon configured with a valid Google Maps or Mapbox API key. Once you set all of that up, here are some tips for customizing the field.
- Add multiple market locations (e.g., “Saturday Downtown Market,” “Wednesday Evening Market,” “Holiday Pop-Up”) using the location repeater.
- Enable “Show List of Locations” so applicants can scan market names and addresses beneath the map.
- Turn on “Allow Location Selection” to add radio buttons, making vendors explicitly select a preferred market site (requires 2+ locations and Show List of Locations enabled).
- Customize markers to differentiate market types (seasonal vs. weekly) using colored icons or custom uploaded marker images.
- Use “Find Nearby Location” to bias location suggestions based on the vendor’s browser location—useful if vendors are selecting the closest market to their production site.
- Control map UI in Advanced settings (hide fullscreen/map type/street view, disable dragging, hide zoom, etc.) if you want a simpler, form-first experience.
