Thank you for your interest in joining Marin Agricultural Institute's community. We encourage you to review thoroughly the application that best applies to you. When complete, please mail your application and membership check to our office. While we would love to speak with all prospective vendors individually, the high volume of applications we receive combined with our regular work load does not always allow for this.


Before applying, please review the table below. Although we do not want to discourage prospective vendors from applying, we would like applicants to have a realistic understanding of the availability of space at MAI’s markets. We receive a high volume of applications and many of our markets are currently full with an extensive wait list. Please take the following information into consideration before submitting your application. If you have a unique product that does not fall within these categories, but that does fit within our rules and regulations, please don’t hesitate to apply. This chart is updated on the first business day of each month.

Free Speech Zone

As per the Pruneyard decision we provide a free speech zone at our markets. We have a limited area for this purpose; please notify the Market Manager in advance if you would like to attend by calling our office at (415) 472-6100. You may set up a small card table and only in the place assigned by the Market Manager on site. Nothing may be sold in this area. This is a great place to get signatures for political purposes.
