Welcome to the 2026 Sitka Farmers Market online vendor registration page. We tried this online system three years ago and found this page makes it easier to register and pay to be a vendor at the Sitka Farmers Market.
This summer, for its 19th season, the Sitka Local Foods Network is hosting seven markets from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays — June 27, July 11, July 25, Aug. 8, Aug. 22, Sept. 5, and Sept. 19 — at Alaska Native Brotherhood Founders Hall (235 Katlian Street), where we held 13 of our first 15 years of markets. This will be our 17th year at ANB out of 19 seasons.
Like last year, we are not offering have half tables, and we’re keeping the price for a full table at $35 per market. We have a special rate of $210 for vendors who register for all seven markets before the first market happens, which means you pay for six markets and get the seventh market for free (a $35 savings.) Vendors can register for one or two markets, or all seven. We also have a youth vendor program for ages 14 and younger, which is $20. When space is available, this program allows youth vendors to sign up for a table at any one or more of the seven markets as long as they do so by Wednesday before the Saturday market day when they wish to table.
The Sitka Farmers Market is a community event hosted by the Sitka Local Foods Network, whose mission is to increase the amount of locally produced and harvested food in the diets of Southeast Alaskans. Our focus is on local — fresh produce, fish, baked goods, prepared foods, cottage foods, arts and crafts — and all products must be made in Alaska (preferably in Sitka or Southeast Alaska, cooked foods may use non-local foods so long as the food is cooked on site). Our mission is geared toward food security, so food vendor signups will be given priority over arts and crafts vendor signups when space is limited.
Please read the market vendor rules and responsibilities document linked below. All vendors using this site to register for the market will be held to these rules. We ask all vendors to register by the Friday morning before the markets where they intend to sell. Unless you specify you want to be outside, we will try to find room for you indoors.
Vendors can pay using PayPal or credit/debit card. When you get to the Payment options, click PayPal (not Invoice) and it should give you the option of using a PayPal account or four different types of cards (Visa, MasterCard, AmEx, Discover). If you prefer to pay by cash or check, contact Debe Brincefield at (907) 738-4323.
We will provide a $30 refund for table cancellations, but to get the refund you are required to let us know by Wednesday of the week of your registered market that you can’t make it. We are billed for transaction fees and other expenses, so the $5 covers those fees. There is no refund if you cancel after Wednesday.
Debe Brincefield is the Sitka Farmers Market manager this summer. Laura Schmidt is our lead gardener at St. Peter’s Fellowship Farm, where the Sitka Local Foods Network grows most of the produce it sells at the market. Joel Hanson is the president of the Sitka Local Foods Network.
