How to use this resource
Use your market's vendor handbook alongside this checklist. The organizer sets its own requirements for equipment, insurance, arrival, sampling, and waste.
Keep cold or hot holding arrangements appropriate for the products you are permitted to sell. A general packing checklist does not establish food safety or permission to sell.

How markets are organized and why it changes what they ask of you, how to read a rulebook before you apply, what fees, insurance, and sales tax involve, what to bring, how the first morning runs, and how to judge the numbers after a month.
Retail display rules were written for stores with shelves and overhead lights. Here is how they translate to a 10-by-10 canopy: height and tiers, the front edge, color, abundance, sightlines from across the aisle, coverings, and a clear place to pay, plus an exercise for seeing your booth the way a stranger does.
A pop-up canopy is a sail with a price tag. What markets require for weights and how to attach them, when to drop the tent, how to keep product dry and cold food cold, and how you hear when a market calls it off.
