Yes, Junkstock® is a juried show. Set-up and creative displays geared towards a Junkstock Vibe are extremely important to us and all of our customers who come from all around the world to visit the farm! Vendor applications will be reviewed by our team, but will be hand picked based on your entire application, including photos and descriptions sent in. If you have not sold at a show before, please do not hesitate to apply! We love dreamers and creative souls that are pursuing their visions and passions.  We very carefully curate our vendor lineup to ensure a diverse selection of items for our shoppers. We are very strategic in our selections. Maintaining variety is a top priority, and we strive to minimize overlap across categories.

We have approximately 300 vendor spaces available at each weekend of each event. We received over 2,000 applications last year, so unfortunately, we cannot accept everyone. We do maintain a waiting list and will contact vendors on that list if an accepted vendor cancels.

Your chances of acceptance are strongest if you are among the best in your field and we do not already have a large number of vendors offering similar products. We intentionally limit the number of vendors in each category to maintain variety.

We welcome new vendors every year! If you have never sold at a show before, don't hesitate to apply. We love dreamers and creative souls pursuing their visions and passions.

Please note that 2027 is a re-evaluation year. All returning vendors will need to submit a brand-new application. Securing a space at one event does not guarantee a space at the following event. Indoor spaces are especially limited.

Applications and jurying begin November 9, 2026. Spring & Fall applications close January 15.

There is no fee to submit an application.

If your application is accepted, you will receive an acceptance email by January 22, 2027. If you are not accepted you will receive an email, letting you know. If you are not accepted, please don't take it personally! We have limited space in each category and make difficult decisions to maintain the overall variety of the show and only have 300 vendor spaces available each weekend.

We carefully go through each application, one market at a time, to make sure the whole vibe at Junkstock stays well-rounded and packed with diverse goodness. The high number of applications forces us to make some tough choices to keep the Junkstock magic alive. We sometimes have to make tough decisions based on space limitations and the number of vendors offering similar merchandise. An application not being approved doesn't mean your products or business aren't wonderful! Remember that your creativity and passion are the kaleidoscope that makes Junkstock shine, so keep that flower power alive! 🌼✌️
