Step 1: Learn What it Takes to Become a Vendor at OSFM

Please review the following information before submitting your application – this helps you figure out if you’re a good fit for our market and make a complete and informed application!

Vendor Criteria

Here are some very basic guidelines to help you determine if you and your products are the right fit for OSFM.

Food and Agriculture

  • Do you personally farm/produce (fruits/vegetables, grains, flowers, meat, fish, dairy, honey) within the Province of Alberta?
  • If farming/production is not possible in Alberta’s climate, does it take place in Canada?
  • Do you use food ingredients to make, bake, or create value-added food products?
  • Do you use other agricultural raw materials to create value-added products?

Artisans

  • Do you personally create non-food products out of raw materials?
  • Do you use purchased materials to create value-added non-food products?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, we encourage you to proceed to Step 2!
