The
Downtown Hickory Farmers Market
(DHFM) is a local "non profit" organization
selling products from local farmers and a
limited number of artisans. Eligible vendors
must produce what they sell and come from within
100 miles of Hickory. The DHFM
membership consists of a ratio of at least 75%
farmers and no more than 25% artisans.
New
vendor applications are accepted throughout the year.
However, applications must have been
submitted by May 1 to be considered for the 2008 early
market season. Applications
will be evaluated on a first come, first served
basis. A copy of the
