Why You Should Be a Vendor

at Farm Where You Live Festival

If you love homesteading, DIY projects, and good old-fashioned community, then you need to be a vendor at a Farm Where You Live festival! This isn’t just another vendor market—it’s a gathering of down-to-earth people who are passionate about self-sufficiency, real food, and hands-on learning. Whether you’re selling handmade goods, tools, seeds, or skills, this is the place to be!

It’s More Than a Market—It’s a Community

One of the best things about being a vendor at Farm Where You Live is the people you’ll meet. Our vendors aren’t just here to make sales—they’re part of a movement. Everyone at our festivals shares a common goal: learning, growing, and building a more self-sufficient life. When you set up your booth, you’re not just selling products—you’re connecting with like-minded folks who truly appreciate what you do.

Your Ideal Customers Are Here

Let’s be real—at a lot of markets, you get people who are just browsing, grabbing a free sample, and moving on. But at FWYL festivals? These attendees are your people. They’re here because they want to learn, grow, and invest in quality products that support their homesteading journey. Whether you sell homemade herbal remedies, handcrafted tools, organic seeds, or books on sustainable living, you’ll find buyers who actually care about what you do and want to support your small business.

We’re All About Education & Skill Building

Farm Where You Live isn’t just about shopping—it’s about learning. Many of our vendors also host workshops, share demonstrations, or just have good conversations with attendees who want to know more about what they do. It’s a chance to share your passion, connect with future customers, and maybe even inspire someone to start their own homesteading journey.

An Event with Purpose

We keep things simple and focus on what really matters—homesteading, self-reliance, and building a strong, welcoming community. We are faith-based but not political, and we work hard to make sure that this event is inclusive, educational, and supportive for everyone. No drama, no distractions—just people who love learning and growing together.
