The UC San Diego Farmers Market accepts applications throughout UC San Diego’s academic year. We host Farmers/Growers, Packaged Food Vendors, and Unpackaged/Prepared Food Vendors. At this time, we are not accepting Crafters/Artisans. Submission of a vendor application does NOT guarantee a spot at the Farmers Market. Thank you in advance for your interest in joining our Farmers Market!
