Our Criteria
We are accepting vendor applications for our gift shop and food market. Before you apply, please read through the following criteria:
Gift Shop:
Products other than plants, trees & shrubs that are not edibles. This includes all non-food items we sell in our indoor gift shop, as well as outside (think wind chimes, bird baths, etc).
- 2 Gift Shop Product Designations: Local & American Made. Your craft must be one or the other in order to be considered. Local = made less than 100miles from Greenwood Lake, NY. American Made = made anywhere within the United States or it’s territories. Bring it on Guam!
- You must be the original crafter or someone working for the original crafter in order to become a vendor!
- Products must be more-or-less “family appropriate” and compatible to our philosophy (see our Philosophy page in the main menu)
Food Market:
Any food items we choose to sell either in our retail location or on our shop must be crafted in the Hudson Valley in order to be accepted.
- We prefer organic or at least naturally produced without the use of nasty chemicals or fertilizers
- Local = Hudson Valley
- We’re mostly looking for non-perishables or products that have a long shelf life
Vendor Types: Stocking, Consignment & Affiliation
Stocking Vendors:
Vendors we choose to stock one or more products from in our retail & online shops will be offered an upfront purchase agreement for a trial run. Subsequent orders (if any) will be determined after we are able to gauge our customers’ interest in your product/s. You will need to provide us with a wholesale price offer and expected retail value.
Consignment Vendors
Vendors we choose to offer a consignment relationship with will be given a space in our shop where they can display their products. Product display must be approved and may be subject to change as we determine our customers’ interest in your product/s. We can offer commission (% determined by product) on consignment items in our retail shop or our online store. Payments for sales of your products will happen once per month.
Affiliation Vendor
Online only – fulfillment by you. That’s right folks! Want to try selling your products on our online shop? It’s easy and you get to keep the majority of the revenue generated by sales of your products! Then drop-ship the item to our customers. Payments for sales of your products will happen once per month.
