EARTH'S BOUNTY CODE OF OPERATIONS

  1. All operations of the festival are managed by the City of Meridian, including allotment of spaces, parking, and truck placement. Parking is allowed only in designated spaces. For safety reasons, trucks must park with tailgates facing each other. The display area per farmer must include space measuring five feet in length from the back edge of the tailgate, and the width must be one foot wider than the truck's width.
  2. Regardless of the size or type of vehicle (trucks, cars, or vans, with or without trailers), it must fit within the allotted space. If a trailer is used, it must not exceed 12 feet in length.
  3. All produce must be locally grown, or a sign with 3” letters must be displayed showing where the produce came from. “Locally grown” means produce either grown or purchased within a 200-mile radius of Meridian. Wholesale-purchased produce is not allowed. Homegrown canned, processed, and baked goods, as well as agriculturally made products/items, are also allowed if labeled correctly.
  4. Vendors who accept State or Local Voucher programs must have their farm inspected by the market manager once per year.
  5. All producers at the market must show proof of liability insurance on all vehicles entering the market.
  6. Vendors are expected to conduct themselves in a friendly, business-like manner. Belligerent actions, profanity, drug or alcohol use, or harassment of other vendors or customers will not be tolerated. Anyone failing to adhere to these rules will be barred from the market and face forfeiture of booth payments. Recommendations or complaints should be directed to the City of Meridian at 601.485.1998.
