Add Up to FOUR Market Locations in Vendor Portal
The FMNP Vendor Portal has undergone a significant improvement. Previously, growers couldn't add any locations to their profiles. Now, the system allows adding up to four locations. While some growers operate at more than four locations, this new feature is a positive step forward, providing greater flexibility and enables growers to access market-specific data for the first time.
Please refer to the "Farmers Market Portal Name Style Guide" growers were sent to name each market properly in the Vendor Portal. If you did not receive one, please email us at FMNPTeam@doh.wa.gov for a copy.
You can add market locations by clicking on the farm name in the portal and going to the bottom of the Vendor Details page where it says, "Edit Locations."
