I know there is a farm store on site (or at least that is what I gather from the page I went to ) Are others allowed to come and sell goods? Or is this strictly a chicken swap event? I know you had said it's similar to Chickenstock so I was hoping to make another try at this since I got rained out a Chickenstock a couple weeks ago.

Thanks!

yes you can bring crafts and goods to sell. We had people selling bread, herbs, quilts etc last time.

Fantastic! Is there any cost for vendors? I am marking my calendar!

No vendor cost.

Thought I would share. I double checked with Polk County Farms.I'm sure people bringing chickens don't have to pay but a vendor/ non-chicken swapper has to pay a fee to be there.
Here is the response I got:
Jennifer,
Patrick McLendon is in charge of the event and this is his reply- Its fine with me, she will pay $10 in County resident or $20 out of county/state resident to set up shop at the Meat your Local Meet event.
She can pay on that day to me.
Thanks,
Patrick
Hope this helps and we all look forward to your participation
