Your pickup locations and events help customers know where they can find you! Whether you're setting up at a local market, creating your own pickup spot, or hosting a special event, adding this information is simple.
On Homegrown, you can list your locations under two primary types:
Markets: Ideal for places that include multiple sellers or a vendor community, allowing you to gain collective visibility.
Standalone Locations: Perfect for locations exclusively operated by you. Customize operational details, such as working days and hours, to suit your needs.
Adding a Market Location
Markets are shared spaces that include multiple vendors, creating a community environment. These locations are suitable for showcasing products alongside other sellers to attract a broader audience. Listing your location as a market provides collective visibility and the opportunity to be part of a larger vendor directory.
Click the Location tab in your Vendor Dashboard.
If you haven’t added a location yet, click the Add Location button in the center of the page. You can also find an Add Location button in the upper right corner.
On the Adding Pickup Location page, click Add Market to choose a market where you participate.
Use the dropdown menu to find a list of Markets in your area, or select one from the list below. You can add as many locations as you want.
We automatically show Markets within 25 miles of your location!
If your market is not listed, you can suggest a market using the Suggest a Market link below the markets selection list on the Add a Location page. More information is available in this article: Can You Add a Market to the List?
Once you pick a Market, it will appear on your Locations page.
To see more detail from the Locations page, click View Details—this will show the Market’s open dates and times.
Need to remove a Market? Click View Details, then tap the three dots in the upper right corner and select Leave Market.
What if my market does not have hours yet?
If your market doesn't have hours yet, you can add them, as long as you're a representative or a participating vendor at that market.
If, after you choose your market from the pulldown, you see a notification that says "Market Hours Not Yet Set," you can add the hours yourself—that is, if you're a representative or a participating vendor at that farmers market.
Click the I Understand—Set Hours button to get started.

Adding a Standalone Pickup Location
Standalone locations are individually operated places where you have full control over the operational setup. These are especially useful for dedicated pickup spots outside of shared Market spaces, providing flexibility to customize according to your schedules and client needs.
Standalone locations are great if you have your own pickup spot outside of a farmers market.
Click Add Location, then select Standalone Location.
Enter the Location Name, Description, Address, City/State, and Zip Code.

Once your location is added, it will immediately appear in your Events Tab, making it easy for customers to find you. 🎉
Adding an Event
Events help highlight special dates when customers can find you! Whether it’s a market day, pop-up, or seasonal event, here’s how to add one:
For locations tied to specific dates or events, Homegrown allows you to create standalone locations for each place you visit or event occurrences. These can also be listed as events, providing clear visibility for your followers and making it easier for them to attend.
Click the Events tab in your Vendor Dashboard.
If you haven’t added an event yet, click the Add an Event button in the center of the page. You can also find an Add an Event button in the upper right corner.
On the Create Event page, enter:
Event Name
Event Description
Location (choose from the dropdown—locations must be created in the Location tab first)
Date & Time (must be in the future, but you can schedule for later the same day)
Click Create Event once everything looks good.
Your event will now appear in the Events Tab of your app and on your Vendor Page. Once the event date has passed, it will no longer be visible on your Events page.
Timeline for New Market Listings to Be Visible
Adding a market to Homegrown requires a review and verification process. Once submitted, the internal team will research and verify the information provided. This review may take some time, but the team will contact you for clarification or more details if needed before the market is visible in the directory.
