2026 Strawberry Festival vendor

At Wesley Wells Farm, a short drive from downtown St. Augustine, Florida, seasonal markets transform an open field into a lively farm festival that draws locals and visitors alike. The farm hosts a Strawberry Festival on February 7, 2026, and a Pumpkin Festival each fall (September 27 noted for one year), offering handmade vendor markets, u-pick opportunities, farm-animal visits, and scenic photo spots across rolling grass and scrub oaks.

For makers and small businesses, the farm’s 12×12 grassy vendor spaces provide a practical, high-visibility booth location during peak visitor hours (event runs 9am–4pm). The vendor fee is $150; vendors supply their own canopy, tables, chairs, and anchoring. Set up is flexible—vendors may arrive the day before or use an early-morning loading window—so you can stage rustic displays of strawberry desserts, vintage goods, or pumpkin- and apple-themed treats alongside live farm sights.

The landscape here reflects northeast Florida’s flat coastal plain: grassy farm fields, scattered live oaks and palmettos, and an easy horizon that yields wide sky sunsets. That uncomplicated setting makes a simple booth feel photogenic and accessible; photographers favor the contrast between brightly colored produce and the muted, sandy-soil backdrop. Kids and families are drawn to the hands-on moments—petting animals, picking fruit in designated u-pick areas (some activities may cost extra), and posing at seasonal photo ops—while local food lovers seek out small-batch preserves and baked goods.

Vendor selection prioritizes past festival participants and strawberry dessert vendors, as well as rustic or vintage sellers, which helps maintain a cohesive atmosphere. The festival’s one-day format concentrates foot traffic and energy, making it easier for vendors to sell out of specialty items and for visitors to enjoy a curated market experience without the scale of a city fair. Note the refund policy: vendor fees are nonrefundable, transferable only if the event is rescheduled due to inclement weather.

Practical tips: bring tent anchors suitable for grassy, possibly windy conditions; package items for outdoor display; and plan for limited or no electricity at your booth. Parking and guest flow are organized seasonally; staff will send specific setup instructions once your application is approved. To apply, submit the two-step application and email product and booth photos to [email protected]—failure to include images will cancel your application.

Wesley Wells Farm’s markets are a particular draw in St. Augustine’s broader outdoor scene because they blend small-scale agriculture with artisanal commerce, offering a day where local craft, seasonal food, and family-friendly farm experiences meet just off Florida’s historic coastal corridor. Expect steady foot traffic between late morning and midafternoon; bring clear signage, small change and a card reader, and consider farm-friendly packaging.

On approval, organizers will confirm arrival times, parking, and any volunteer or volunteer-run booth assistance soon.
