Vendors
At Chaparral Crossing Farmers Market, we pride ourselves on offering only the freshest locally grown produce from farms in and around Travis County. Our vendors are carefully selected to ensure that you get the best products in the area. They are passionate about what they do and are always happy to share their knowledge and expertise with our customers.
One of the most rewarding aspects of the farmers market is all of the local entrepreneurs who have started businesses just from visiting the market. Learn more about becoming a vendor below!

Application Process
Application: All vendors are required to submit an application for review. The application fee is $0. Given such, you will only receive a response if you are invited to become a member of Chaparral Crossing Farmers’ Market.
Application Review: Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and vendors are invited to join the market if their product is unique and/or needed at the market. Products are chosen on a non-compete basis (we don’t need 10 jam vendors!) and are reviewed to ensure they are legally sellable in the state of Texas, county, and city.
