Welcome to Allegory Market's SPRING TO IT event!

 Mid-Michigan dahlia growers, micro-farmers, and backyard gardeners. 

The goal of the event is to bring together Mid-Michigan dahlia growers and backyard gardeners. To provide a place were local gardeners can buy and sell tubers and seeds in person.

We'll post on Michigan Facebook groups for Dahlia growers, cut flower farmers, and gardeners. We'll also have targeted, paid advertising across several social media platforms. 

 We are seeking vendors who specialize in selling dahlia tubers, garden seeds, and related gardening products. Vendors selling garden-related items like tools, supplies, or educational resources that support gardening and sustainable farming practices are also welcome to apply. 

Our goal is to provide attendees with a diverse selection of high-quality products and a chance to build connections in the gardening community. 

**Note: Hobby growers with extras are very welcome to sell as well! Choose a booth if you have a lot or the consignment option if you have a little. **

This event is curated to ensure a diverse selection for our attendees. There is only room for 20 vendors. 

Complete the Vendor Application form (link below). You'll be notified via email before 3/7/2025.

Approved vendors will receive an email with detailed information and pay link for the booth space. 

Vendors that do not match with our goal and target market will receive a notification email with our regrets and thanks. 

8 foot x 8 foot space. Includes one 8-ft table and two chairs.

Allegory Market offers a consignment inventory service to vendors who may not be able to attend or who may not have enough inventory to support a booth.

Sign up as a vendor and choose the consignment option.

Allegory Market will contact you to obtain a list of your products with pics and prices. We'll load your items into our point-of-sale system and sell them for you at the event at the Allegory booth.  Your information will be included in the vendor directory and event page.

Bring your products during one of the vendor load-in timeslots packaged and priced and ready to sell. We'll sell your items at your list price.  You'll receive your sales report and payment minus the 30% commission fee within 7 days after the close of the sale. You can pick up any unsold inventory after the conclusion of the event. 

Accepting applications until Friday, March 7, 2025.  **Note: You don't have to be a farm to sell. Hobby growers with extras are welcome to sell as well! Choose a booth if you have a lot or the consignment option if you have a little. **
