Food Permit Information

Based on guidance provided to the organizer by San Joaquin County Environmental Health, food vendors who do not already hold the applicable County Environmental Health permit will need to be included in the event's Temporary Food Facility (TFF) process if selected. Cottage Food status alone does not exempt a vendor from the event's TFF requirements.

Do you currently hold a valid San Joaquin County Environmental Health permit covering your food operation? *

Yes No I'm not sure

If yes, provide the permit type and/or permit number. Do you currently operate as a Cottage Food Operation (CFO)? *

Yes No I'm not sure

I am willing to complete any required TFF documentation by the organizer's stated deadline if selected. *

Outdoor Vendor Acknowledgment

Taste of Merry is planned as a rain-or-shine event. Vendors accepting outdoor placement should be prepared for seasonal weather and are responsible for protecting their merchandise, food, equipment, displays, and setup. Outdoor vendors should not assume indoor relocation will be available.

I understand that if I accept an outdoor placement, I am responsible for preparing my setup for seasonal weather and that indoor relocation cannot be guaranteed. *

I understand that vendor selection and placement are curated by Once Upon a Find. I understand that booth fees are due only after acceptance and according to the payment deadline in my acceptance notice. I understand that submitting an application does not reserve a vendor space.
