Food Vendors

(meal menus, not "snacks")

 

The JunkFest Food Truck Vendor: a truly awesome foodie that is serving 1 or 2 meals (breakfast, lunch, or both!) either from vehicle, trailer, or tables.

We love all types and varieties of deliciousness and our food-truck/trailer spots are designed to have 6 feet separating you from the rear end of the next food trailer space, these areas are to be walk-arounds and should not be cluttered with items/tables/tents and/or vehicles; we do ask that you PLEASE un-hook from your vehicle (if applicable) and park in the VENDOR PARKING as quickly as possible. 

Food Vendor License 

Here at JunkFest we follow all State and local rules regarding food vendor licensure; so don't be worried, if you're following the rules, we'll all be alright!

• With over 7000 shoppers we have a vast need for food vendors and love to offer our shoppers a delicious as well as enjoyable experience!

• We are looking for a variety of different food & drinks at the farm and are trying to stay away from duplicate vendors (this is most often an issue among our SNACKERS and generally does not apply to our true FOODIES...however we love you all the same!). So even though you have amazing food, we may be full in the category your food falls under. But please don’t get discouraged, keep us in mind—there’s always next year & it’s always the second Saturday in October!

• Water is available for use at the farm.  

• Vendors are expected to keep their booth free of tripping hazards. Please keep everyone safe and keep an aisle that is clear of merchandise at all times.

• You must be open for business during the entirety of the event. Hours of business are 9:00AM-4:00PM CST. Please do not close early or open late, no vehicles are allowed in booth area prior to 4:00pm - we want this to be a successful day for you and an enjoyable & safe day for the shoppers!

• Please don't hesitate to ask questions!! We are here to help YOU!

Vehicles must be removed from the event/booth premises and relocated to the vendor parking area no later than 60 minutes before the show. Please be courteous of those around you, there will be "lanes" around the booth spaces for you to drive in - this is to keep vendors parking vehicles on a booth spot.
