Both sidebars lead to specific pages that give an overview of some of the market vendors for that particular item or category. These pages function as an opportunity for the vendors to advertise their products and for buyers to gain additional information from local artisans and farmers.

Vendors have to meet state requirements for several factors before being allowed to sell their products at the market. According to Stephanie Anderegg-Maloy, the Market Manager, the houses and farms of the vendors have to be regularly inspected to ensure the health and quality of the residence before vendors are allowed to sell their products at the market. There are also more specific requirements that must be met when dealing with raw meat, poultry, and seafood. In these cases, the vendors are required to obtain a permit from both the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health in order to sell. A USDA sticker is also required with these items to state the item’s weight and description. The state also goes as far as to inspect all scales to issue a valid certification sticker through the Virginia Department of Weights and Measures. These measures are all to guarantee the safety of the food and costumers.<ref>"City of Charlottesville Standard Operating Procedure." retrieved 3 Jan. 2011. <http://www.charlottesvillecitymarket.com/2010%20docs/regs.pdf>.</ref>.

caption=City Market

Charlottesville City Market, established in 1973,[1] is the largest outdoor market serving Charlottesville. Local vendors sell fresh produce, herbs, plants, grass-fed meats, artisan crafts, and baked goods at the market every Saturday from 7:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. from April through October, and every Saturday in November from 8:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.

Location

The market has been located in a 35,762 square foot[2] city-owned parking lot on the corner of Water Street and First Street since 1993, which was originally to be a "temporary" home.[3]


In November 2010, City Council appointed a task force to study new locations for the market.[3] The Water Street location offers less than an acre of space for a gathering of over 100 vendors.[4] A new, permanent location might offer increased accessibility for vehicles and handicapped vendors or patrons, running water, bathrooms, seating, and electricity in addition to space for the 130 vendors on the 2010 waiting list.[5] However, vendors and members of Market Central, a non-profit organization created for the enhancement and preservation of the City Market, worry that a new location more remote from the Downtown Mall might lower market attendance.[6]

In July 2011, the task force concluded that the market should stay put for at least three years.[7] It also recommended the parking lot be considered a permanent location and an anchor for a mixed-use "market district." A group called the Charlottesville Market District Alliance formed in order to advocate that result.[8]

However, Charlottesville economic development officials argue that the land which the market occupies is more valuable for redevelopment. The Charlottesville City Council has not made a decision as of the opening of the 2013 season.[9]

In October 2012, Charlottesville hired Market Ventures, a market consultant group based in Portland, Maine, to produce a $100,000 study of what form a market district would take.[10] The group presented its findings to the City Council in March 2013, suggesting two alternatives. The first is to allow the market to remain where it is, but redevelop the site to include pervious pavement, shade trees, and "woonerf"-style streets. The second is to move the market one block south, to a triangular lot at the corner of Garrett Street and First Street. The site is currently owned by Station Apartments LLC. This location would feature a plaza with stalls along Garrett Street, plus a wall along the railroad tracks.[11] Market Ventures will present its study to the City Council on July 18, 2013.


2010 Market expansion

In 2010, the market expanded to First Street, allowing for more vendors and attendees. In May 2010, the city announced that sales are up for this year as a result.[12]

Sales results

year sales ($)
2009 [13]1,085,646.11
2008 [13]1,083,999.81

Vendors

There is online access to vendor information through the City Market’s main page.[14] In addition to links posted from the vendors and Market itself, there is a TAG Cloud allowing searches ranging from arugula to Shungiku. Both sidebars lead to specific pages that give an overview of some of the market vendors. These pages provide an opportunity for the vendors to advertise their products and for buyers to gain additional information from local artisans and farmers. Some vendors even post video clips about their prized products, such as “The Best Key Lime Pie on the Planet.”[15]

Vendor Regulations

Before establishing a stall, vendors must register with the City Market Manager and complete the Farmers Contract, which can be found on the Charlottesville City Market website. Vendors must pay a fee of $20 to participate in the City Market, in addition to a 6% slot fee to be paid following the close of each City Market day.[16] The market's goal allocates 50% of its space to farmers (defined as vendors of produce such as fruits, vegetables, live plants, meat, and dairy products), 25% to food vendors (vendors who offer baked, canned, or packaged food), and 25% to artisans (vendors selling an artistic service or arts, crafts, and jewelry products).[17]

Food Policy

Vendors have to meet state requirements for several factors before being allowed to sell their products at the market. According to the Market Manager Stephanie Anderegg-Maloy, the houses and farms of the vendors are regularly inspected to ensure the health and quality of the residence before vendors may sell their products at the market. Vendors must also meet more specific requirements dealing with raw meat, poultry, and seafood vendors. These vendors are required to obtain a permit from both the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health in order to sell their products, and they must stamp them with a USDA sticker stating the item’s weight and description. Virginia also inspects all scales to issue a valid certification sticker through the Virginia Department of Weights and Measures. These measures are meant to protect the safety of the food and costumers.[18].

Holiday market

From the first Friday and Saturday in November until the weekend before Christmas Day, a seasonal Holiday City Market operates from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. This market is held on the East end of the Downtown Mall.[16] Vendors sell handmade holiday decorations and gifts.[19]

Staff

Stephanie Anderegg-Maloy is the City Market Manager.[20]

Other City and Regional markets

The other market in Charlottesville is Growers in the Park which takes place on Wednesdays from May to August in Meade Park. The city also has a farmers' market at Pen Park from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm every Tuesday May through September.[21]

A Farmers' Market operates in Scottsville on Saturdays in the summer from 9am until 12 Noon and Thursdays from 3pm until 7pm.
