Thanks for your interest in joining the NeighborGood family. We're excited you're here!
Please take a moment to read through our application requirements below to ensure your experience is as good as possible.
NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2023 SEASON!
Some good things to know before you apply...
Locations
Currently, we have two markets accepting applications: Elk Grove and West Sac. We welcome you to apply to any and all of our markets! However, PLEASE NOTE that Elk Grove is part of Sacramento County while West Sac is part of YOLO County — this means that you may need different permits and/or documentation depending on which market you apply for.
Vendors
We are thrilled to have a diverse set of vendors from the neighborhood at each of the markets! We believe in representing and celebrating the communities wherein each market is operating and we do our best to prioritize hyper-local vendors.
Right now, we are accepting applications from...
-
Farmers
-
Artisans (ex. Crafters, Makers, Designers, Artisanal Manufacturers, etc.)
-
Pre-Packaged Goods (ex. Drinks, Packaged Foods, Baked Goods, Jams, Dips, Sauces, etc.)
-
Tented Hot Food
-
Food Trucks
-
Community Organizations (ex. Local Non-Profits, City Outreach, etc.)
NOTE: If you're a musician/artist interested in performing/displaying your work at the market, we have a different application for you here!
Documentation
Depending on your vendor category, there are different documents that we will need in order to process and approve your application for the market. Please take a moment to find what you may need to provide by checking the table below...
Vendor | Business License | Event Insurance | MEV | TFF (High Risk) | TFF (High Risk) | Cottage Food License | Certified Producer Certificate | MFF | Seller's Permit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Food Truck | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | Yes | No |
Tented Hot Food | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | No | No |

NOTE: Food vendors are required to have either a MEV permit OR a TFF permit. You do NOT need both.
Don't have some of these documents right now? It's all good! You can still apply and we'll reach out after processing your application to follow up. However, having them now will likely speed up your chances of being accepted for the market.
