Our local farmers market unfortunately only really allows vendors and requires an application process - ie you can’t just hang out and trade seedlings and stuff with people without paying a booth fee so it’s really only for people doing it as a business.
Comment on There should be something like a flea market where hobby gardeners go to share sprouted seeds

Isn’t that a "farmers market "? We have them all over Wisconsin in the spring and summer.

Of course there’s a fee, running the thing isn’t 100% free. Probably about $20?

If it was only the fee then it would be perfect for trading seedlings but you have to reserve a booth for the whole season and pay a fine if you’re late setting up your booth any of the days it runs.
In other words, like I said our farmers market is only for businesses. If you go stand in the corner and trade seedlings then you’ll probably get kicked out

Not sure about all of the fees around here. But I get what you’re saying. There are a few smaller ones that work out of storage units. But again, monthly fees.
I guess it kinda comes down to, where. Someone needs to sponsor or pay for a spot.

Yesterday at our farmer’s market half of it was people with too many seedlings they were selling.
