Whether you're new to selling at farmers markets or have several seasons under your belt, you know tents play a big role in your overall success as a market vendor.
At TentCraft, we're on a mission to get local farmer market vendors to finally ditch the cheap canopies that fall apart after a season or two. It's time to invest in a professional-grade tent frame with a lifetime warranty and custom canopy that not only stands up to unpredictable weather and constant use, but also looks REALLY good to attract shoppers on market day.
As a preferred partner of Farmers Market Pros, you can trust the TentCraft team to manufacture and fabricate the strongest custom canopy tent on the market — and ship it out to you quickly. As an American manufacturer, we can typically turn around custom jobs in three days.
We hear from outdoor market vendors nearly daily: They're tired of replacing cheap tents. They want to stand out. And they need protection from wind and rain for not just their employees and potential customers — but also their baked goods and fresh produce.
We know budgets are tight for these small business owners, but we also understand that investing in quality upfront is financially better in the long run. It's also more sustainable for the environment since you won't be tossing a cheap tent to the landfill every couple of years.
Still, our American-made solutions may not fit your budget — and that's OK! That's why we compiled a list of the best farmers market tents, including products from our competitors that will serve you better than buying the cheap Walmart 10x10 canopy.
Learn how Wisconsin farmer Kat Becker grew her business, Cattail Organics, after landing a prestigious USDA Value Added Producers Grant.
One of the farm's first purchases was a heavy-duty MONARCHTENT with custom-printed canopy.
Becker said she didn't want to get stuck in the cycle of replacing cheap tents every year or two, so she invested in MONARCHTENT, which comes with a lifetime frame warranty and certified wind ratings.
TentCraft is a preferred partner of Farmers Market Pros, a leading trade organization helping local farmers market managers and vendors run a more successful business. One of the first things the Pros stress to farmers market newbies is to invest in a high-quality, heavy-duty vendor tent. And if they can afford it, spring for a custom tent instead of the plain white tent to stand out.
If you're new to the industry, Farmers Market Pros offers a Vendor 101 class to help launch your business.

If you're a market vendor who 1) doesn't need much room to sell your product or service at a farmers market, and 2) travels to many markets, you may want an ultra-portable MONARCHSTALL. It provides shelter and more branding opportunities than traditional banners. It's especially popular for setting up sample booths at markets.
Most farmers market vendors start their search with pop-up tents.
A semi-permanent option that can be custom-printed and branded.
$169/footplate
A farmers market vendor commonly has to set up in a parking lot space, which doesn't allow you to stake down your tent. TentCraft's 50-pound footplates collapse and wrap around the base of each of your tent's legs to make it capable of achieving its certified wind rating. They're also more portable (and often heavier) than cement or concrete blocks. If you're concerned about wind, you need these footplates to anchor your canopy tent properly.

Adding custom event flags to your space is an affordable way to attract shoppers to your stand. TentCraft custom prints four styles of flags — rectangle, teardrop, feather, and shark fin — and manufactures a custom, large-scale flag. We call it, Flagstand XL.

Your setup is more than just a promotional tent. You need tables to display your products, from fresh food and vegetables to organic soaps. To bring your entire display together, invest in a custom-printed table cover. It's the perfect touch of professionalism and allows you to bring your business' branding to an indoor special event or market when your tent isn't permitted.
