Vendors who want to sell at the City of Arnold's Farmers' Market have the option of being weekly, monthly or annual members.

"Vendors have always had the ability to attend for whatever amount of time they would like,"Arnold's Economic Development/Planner Dan Bish said in an email.

Vendors can pay $10 a week to participate in the market, $35 for an entire month, or $200 for the entire season, Bish said.
