10' x 10'; pop-up tents are highly encouraged & suggested but not required. When setting up a pop-up tent we do require you to have stakes or weights to properly secure it to ensure no injuries. Please note, vendors set-up on grass in the woods under trees so depending on the time of season, you may experience small bits of nature falling from above. 

You must first fill out & submit a completed application.

Once you've been accepted, the fee is $70/show due upon approval.  

If you've been approved for more than one show, a non-refundable 50% deposit of the total amount owed for approved shows is required to officially reserve your space. 

Remaining 50% Show Fee Deadlines:

March - August Shows - the remaining $35 fee is owed at the 1st of the month of the show.  September - December Shows - the remaining 50% of these shows are due in total by September 1st. 

NO EARLIER THAN 7AM, NO EXCEPTIONS

Vendor check-in opens and 7AM and closes at 9AM.

Please note, if you arrive after 9AM and haven't contacted our team ahead of time, you will not be guaranteed entry and you will forfeit your vendor fee.  

No. We expect vendors to stay until the end of show, at 3PM, or they will not be allowed back. Vendors found packing up early will not be allowed back and any pre-paid fees will not be refunded. 

Vendors can apply for a parking space ahead of time & will be accommodated based on a first come, first reserved basis, determined by date vendor fee is received.  

Trailers will be charged an additional $10 to accommodate the extra large space.

Shoppers, additional parking is available at the Fleetwood School off Creek Road, across from The Rancocas Woods Craft Co-Op as well as the lot off Woolmans Lane. 

**Please DO NOT PARK in the Dog Groomers lot, it is for their customers only.

We have a NO REFUND policy. 

We do not refund vendors when they cancel.

• However, we do allow vendors a one time "pay it forward" pass to reschedule to a future event if contacted at least three weeks before a show. 

This event is RAIN OR SHINE. There is no rain date.

In the event of any COVID related case please contact info@rancocaswoodseventsnshops.com IMMEDIATELY with all concerns, event info, date you noticed symptoms and any other relevant information you can provide.  

• Well behaved, pets on a leash are always welcome
• Please pick-up after any accidents while on the premises and properly dispose of it.
• Be mindful, there will be lots of people and live music

*Please note: Rancocas Woods Events reserves the right to ask any misbehaving animals to be removed from the grounds

We strive to be a Leave No Trace Outdoor Space. I ask that vendors please be prepared to either bring your trash home with you, or kindly dispose of any large boxes, items and excess trash in our dumpsters located behind Ma & Pa's Tex Mex off Creek Road and Woolmans Lane.

The market begins June 5, 2022 and ends October 9, 2022. It is every Sunday from 9 AM - 2 PM. 

The market is located in the Rancocas Woods Village of Shops on Creek Road in Mount Laurel, NJ. It takes place off Conestoga Lane in Mount Laurel, NJ. It is behind our stage and courtyard adjacent to where our hot dog stand, “The Shack”, meets Creek Road.   

The Shack is a small red schoolhouse-type building on the corner of Conestoga Lane and Creek Road and is located at 120 Creek Road, Mount Laurel, NJ 08054. 

We are a rain or shine event.  

It is rare that a farmers market is completely canceled. HOWEVER, in the case of severe weather we may cancel the market. It will be announced by 7AM if the market will be closed for the day.   

If we ever have lightning in the middle of a market day, the market needs to close down. We may call for a rain delay or close early in this instance.  

Expect to be out in the rain unless it's a thunderstorm. A tropical storm or hurricane remnants is also a case for severe weather where it may be wise to close completely for everyone's safety.   

Again, we will let all vendors know by 7AM and announce this on our social media platforms if the market will be closed. 

Yes, well-behaved animals are more than welcome to join us. You must clean up after your pet. If your animal is not well-behaved or you fail to clean up after your pet, your pet will be banned from the market. Be mindful, there will be live music! 

We are currently in the application process and expect to take SNAP/EBT in the very near future. 

Yes. Live music usually begins at 12 PM.  

Yoga is across the street from the vendors, on the other side of Conestoga Lane, behind the community garden. It starts at 10 AM. 

Workshops are located in the same place yoga is. It is across the street from the vendors, on the other side of Conestoga Lane, behind the community garden. They start at 12 PM. 

Amenities on and near the property include restaurants, hiking trails, outdoor seating, and restrooms. Hiking trails can be accessed off Rancocas Blvd on our side of Rancocas State Park. 

We are open to a myriad of vendors. We try to only accept vendors within a 60 mile radius of the market. We host farmers, bakers, cooks, crafters, nonprofits, and niche agricultural vendors. We are always looking for unique, environmentally conscious vendors, so don’t hesitate to reach out to apply. 

Send an email to rwlocalmarket@gmail.com stating what your business is and who you are. It helps to include photos. Please share with us the ways in which your business is environmentally friendly. 

Yes, nonprofits can ask for donations with approval. Any unapproved solicitation of funds will result in removal from the market. 

No candidates or person may use the market for political gain. No political activities will be allowed at the market. 

This is a Kid's run market, we will be accepting young entrepreneurs in grades Kindergarten through 12th grade! To be clear, this is not an event for adults to vend items catered to children. All booths must be manned by children in grades K-12. Kids will price and sell their merchandise. All merchandise must belong to children. All children must be supervised by an adult. Parents may only supervise, not run booths.  

In addition to handmade items, this event is a fantastic opportunity for kids to sell their old games, books, toys, stuffed animals, sports equipment, trading cards + MORE, to shoppers of all ages! All merchandise should be in good condition and complete. Rancocas Woods Events is not responsible for the condition of any merchandise sold. Baked Goods will be allowed but must be individually wrapped for sale and prepared in a commercially insured and inspected kitchen. 

Advanced Registration + Payment Required.

• $20 for a 6’ table (2 table max; table not provided) 
• $35 per 10x10 space w/ car
• $60 June + November Shows

We only provide the physical space; you'll have to bring everything with you that you'll need to set up your child's "shop" including tables, chairs, etc. We do recommend bringing a pop-up tent if you have one, in case of any inclement weather, but it certainly isn't necessary! 

Beginning at 8am, no earlier; we ask that everyone arrive early enough to be set up by 9:30am. We tend to have an early wave of shoppers, so we don't want anyone to miss out on any possible sales! There is one entrance for check-in from Creek Road: You will turn down Conestoga Lane. 120 Creek Road, Mt. Laurel is a good address for a GPS for anyone who's never joined us. We will have our Rancocas Woods Events check-in table located right on Conestoga Lane, please pull right up to us and someone will greet you and check you in. 

In order to keep the event exciting and looking full, we do ask that everyone come prepared to stay for the duration of the event and not start to breakdown/pack up until it's over at 3pm (unless it's been previously discussed and approved). Vendors have packed up early in the past leaving the event seeming a bit bare, resulting in shoppers not venturing down to shop. 

In case of severe inclement weather, we will push the event back one day to Sunday, same times. An official weather call will be made by 7am the morning of the event and I will let everyone know via email that morning.
