Your locations tell shoppers where and when they can get their orders. Events let you highlight market days, pop-ups, and special dates.
Everything starts at Locations (MANAGE section of your Vendor Dashboard menu). Click Add a Location and pick one of three types:
Market – a farmers market you already sell at. You join its listing on Homegrown.
Standalone – a spot you run yourself: your farm stand, storefront, porch, or a regular meeting place.
Delivery – a delivery area you drive to. See Setting up local delivery.
Adding a market
Click Add Market. Read the Market Disclaimer and click I Understand - Continue.
Select a Market: nearby markets are listed with their distance. Use Enter Search... to find yours.
Market Disclosure: tick the box confirming you're an active participant with permission to list there, then click I Understand - Continue.
Order Preparation Time: set Days, Hours, and Minutes (at least 5 minutes), then Continue to Review.
How Far Ahead Can Shoppers Order?: leave No limit or choose Limit how far ahead.
Location Summary: check the market, its months and hours, and your prep time, then click Create Location.
The market's own months and hours come with it, so you don't set them.
If the market has no hours yet
You'll see Market Hours Not Yet Set. If you're an active participant you can click I Understand - Add Hours and enter them yourself. Or click Suggest Hours Instead (Exits Wizard) and we'll email you once the hours are added.
If your market isn't listed
Click Missing a market? Suggest a new one here at the bottom of the market list. Our team reviews it and adds it once the details are verified. More: Can you add a market to the list?
Adding a standalone location
Click Add Standalone.
Standalone Location Details: enter a Name (like "Smith Family Farm Stand"), an optional Description, and the Address. Click Continue to Set Hours.
Then set the months you're open, your weekly hours, your order prep time, and how far ahead shoppers can order, and review it before it's created.
Weekly hours can repeat every week or only on certain weeks of the month. For a spot you run on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays, use Week of Month, or add a second schedule with Add a Weekly Schedule.
Need just one date off, like a holiday or a market day you're missing? Leave your weekly hours alone and block that one date on the location's calendar instead.
Working from home? After it's created, you can set Address visibility to Approximate location so shoppers only see your exact address after they order.
Changing or removing a location
On the Locations page, click Manage location on the one you want, then the orange pencil (top right).
Each section saves on its own: Save months, Save hours, Save prep time (under Order timing), Save ordering window, and Save for the minimum order amount.
The address can't be edited. To change it, create a new location.
To remove a location, open it with Manage location and use the delete button at the bottom of the page (it reads Delete followed by the location name). This also removes its upcoming pickup dates and can't be undone.
Adding an event
Events highlight special dates, like a market day, pop-up, or seasonal sale. Each event belongs to one of your locations, so add the location first.
Go to Events (ENGAGE section) and click Add Event. You can also use Add Event under Quick Actions on your dashboard home.
On Create Event, fill in Title, Description, and Location (choose from your locations).
Under Date & time, set when it Starts and Ends. Times use the location's time zone.
Click Create Event.
