Marketspace at The Farm

Across our seasonal farm events — the Lavender Farm Fest, Unicorn Experience, and Butterfly Experience — our Marketspace is thoughtfully curated to complement the atmosphere and magic of each event. Our goal is to create an inviting shopping environment filled with artisanal goods, handcrafted products, quality ingredients, and distinctive, high-end finds that reflect creativity, craftsmanship, and the beauty of locally inspired agriculture.

Each event attracts guests who come not only for the experience itself, but also to explore and shop from unique makers and small businesses. Vendors are selected to enhance the overall guest experience, ensuring a market that feels cohesive, elevated, and memorable.

Lavender Farm Fest celebrates the beauty of lavender season and homegrown agriculture in Massachusetts, welcoming thousands of visitors to the farm each year. Attendance has exceeded 4,000 guests, with pre-sale tickets consistently selling out well in advance.

The Unicorn Experience offers a whimsical, family-friendly event centered around imagination, storytelling, and interactive encounters. Guests arrive ready to explore, shop, and discover one-of-a-kind items that capture the playful spirit of the day. Attendance exceeds 1,200 guests and is sold out year after year.

The Butterfly Experience highlights nature, transformation, and discovery, attracting families and visitors who appreciate educational experiences, garden-inspired goods, and thoughtfully crafted products connected to the natural world. Attendance has exceeded 2,000 over 2 days.

Together, these experiences welcome thousands of guests throughout the season, creating meaningful opportunities for vendors to connect with engaged visitors in a beautiful farm setting.

APPLICATION PROCESS

In order for a vendor to be considered, they must fill out an application, along with company links (website, Facebook, etc.) and photographs of some of their products. If you have photos of your setup at previous events, please include this as we would love to see it! 

If you have been accepted, we will send you a request for payment for your space. Vendors will have one week (7 days) following their acceptance to submit payment.  If you do not submit the necessary items by this time, a space will not be held for you and your business and we will offer it to someone else.

Marketspace Specifics

  • This event is outdoors and will be held each day at the specified times, rain or shine.
  • Vendors will be in an outdoor area that does not have a covering. Please plan accordingly. We highly recommend an easy-up with weights as the area can get windy (we are located atop a hill.)

  • Vendors are responsible for bringing their own table and chairs.
  • Absolutely no power is available for the vendors.

ACCESSIBILITY/LANDSCAPE

Please note that this event takes place on a working farm. Appropriate footwear is suggested as vendors will be placed within an outdoor area. The ground is either grass or crushed stone depending on which side you set up. Vendors will be allowed to drive a vehicle into the set up area, but will need to move out back once set up.

SET-UP AND BREAK-DOWN

ONE parking space will be provided.

Vendors will not be permitted to breakdown their display or leave the event early, regardless of weather, product availability, etc.

Vendors may leave their set-up overnight. However, The Farm at SummitWynds, and any other parties involved will not be held responsible for any items that are damaged and/or missing the following day. Please use caution when making this decision as the tent may not have sides on it and your items will be out in the open overnight. We do not recommend leaving your set-up overnight.
