In the Maine Marketplace we celebrate Maine entreprenuers and their home grown enterprises. You'll find soaps and candles, traditional hand-sewn moccasins, both rustic and beautifully finished furniture, original note cards, beef jerky, blankets, handknit sweaters, henna tattoos, jewelry, bread, deerskin handbags, granola, canvas backpacks, travel gear and more!

All food items and ingestible products sold or given away as samples at the Common Ground Country Fair must meet the same standards as food sold by the vendors in our Food Area. This includes a thorough review of ingredients and ingredient sources by the Fair office. A copy of the MOFGA Food Policy and Food Ingredient Form are available for download below. If you are interested in selling or offering any food item, you must submit a complete Food Ingredient form with your application. Also, anyone selling ingestible products must show proof of liability insurance. Group coverage is available for Common Ground vendors. If you wish to offer food items or ingestible products, download these additional materials:

If your business uses cotton, MOFGA strongly encourages you to consider going organic! While this is not a requirement for participation in the Maine Marketplace Area, using organic cotton to the greatest extent possible will strengthen your application. Please refer to the sidebar for interesting information about the ecological, social and economic benefits of organic cotton. Thanks!
