Farmers Market Youth Booth

Farmers Market Youth Booth

Ruston Farmers Market hosts a Youth Booth to support entrepreneurs under the age of 18 who are interested
in selling locally grown or handmade products.

RUSTON, Louisiana (May 31st 2023) – The Ruston Farmers Market will provide a vendor booth at no cost to
young entrepreneurs seeking to launch a business through their new Youth Booth program. The Ruston Farmers
Market is open from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays. The building is located at 220 E. Mississippi, in
downtown Ruston, Louisiana.

Through a generous Pledge 10 Grant from Jonesboro State Bank, Youth Booth vendors will have their vendor
fees and signage paid for by the Ruston Farmers Market. Additionally, the Ruston Farmers Market will award an Entrepreneur’s
Prize Packet to one participating youth vendors. This packet will include a set of t-shirts with their
company/group logo, a custom banner, a cash box, a Square Card (chip) reader, and a set of folding camp
chairs.

The goal of the Youth Booth is to encourage vendors under the age of 18 to participate in the RFM by removing
costs associated with participation. This project enhances opportunities for youth and also provides community
enrichment through participation of a new vendor from which RFM customers can purchase goods.
Any entrepreneur interested should fill out a vendor application by going to rustonfarmersmarket.org and
selecting “become a vendor”. The vendor application fee will be waived, but please make sure to note that you
are applying for the Youth Booth.

North Louisiana Farm Fresh Corporation, a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization, manages Ruston Farmers Market.
The market is sponsored in part by First National Bank, Origin Bank, and Ensure Agency. For more information
on the Ruston Farmers Market, visit www.rustonfarmersmarket.org. Ruston Farmers Market is also found on
Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
