Are you a gardener, farmer, artist, or maker? We’re seeking vendors for our Saturday “Moon Market”! We are aiming to have vendors that provide farmers’ market staples (farm fresh eggs, home grown vegetables, fruits, meats, breads, etc) but also welcome anyone who has crafts or art they would like to share.
A one time event insurance registration fee of $20 will be collected prior to the first market. After registering, vendors will be assigned a spot and are welcome to attend as many (or little) times as they would like between August 12th - September 30th. We usually get a pretty big crowd on Saturdays, and have set the market time to coincide with our busiest sales hours to hopefully provide customers and vendors with optimal shopping!
Want to be a vendor at our Farmers’ & Makers’ Market? Register here!
The Farmers’ and Makers’ Market is an outdoor event located on the main street of Cortland, Nebraska on Saturdays from 9am - 1pm. We warmly welcome all artists, farmers, makers, and creators to sell at our Market! No direct sales at this time. Please make sure your items are family friendly, as there will be all ages present :)
HOURS:
Published hours of the Market are 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays from August 12th - September 30th, 2023. Once you have paid and have confirmation of your spot, you may go directly to your space and set up. All vendors must be set up prior to 9am on each market day and are expected to stay at least until 12pm, but preferably for the duration of the event (until 1pm). If you run out of items to sell, feel free to head out early :) Please check in at Paper Moon Pastries with any questions.

Spaces are $20 for a 12’ x 12’ section. $40 for two spaces. Spaces will be set up EITHER along the East side of the Opry/Bakery building, or, if more vendors are present, on the grassy area across the street to the East of the bakery. This will be determined by the amount of vendors we have registered prior to August 12th. We will designate a spot for each vendor that they are allowed to keep for the duration of the Market. The boundary lines of your space will be clearly marked. You will be asked to move your booth if you are outside your allotted area. Vendors are responsible for bringing their own tables, chairs, and tents, as well as any other items necessary for their displays. Parking is available and location will be provided.
