Food Vendor Application

Please describe any environmental or sustainable practices that you embrace in your overall business operations. For example: Do you use organic produce? Support local farmers? Do you use suppliers who have fair trade credentials and/or who are socially and environmentally responsible? Do you use alternative energy, biodegradable products? Do you reduce, re-use and recycle extensively? Etc.

If this applies, please tell us about any involvement your business has in supporting and contributing to your local community. For example: Do you provide discounts to non-profit agencies? Have you donated product, service or space? Do you otherwise support a local cause? Etc.

This is your opportunity to tell us about each product that you intend to sell at Mariposa Folk Festival and how it meets the criteria as noted. Please note that successful food vendors will be required to execute a contract, which will specify what items, and their cost, are permitted on your menu at the festival. Therefore, what you include here, including prices, is what you are committing to and, if successful, will be contracting to. No changes will be permitted. Please remember to include any beverages that you hope to sell at the festival.
