All markets hosted by Ardovino’s Desert Crossing take place at:

Ardovino’s Desert Crossing
1 Ardovinos Drive
Sunland Park, NM 88063

We host three types of markets throughout the year:

• Weekly Farmers’ Market: Every Saturday, featuring local growers, artisans, food vendors, and small businesses.

• Specialty Markets: Our annual Pride Market and 'Twas the Market Before Christmas.

• Annual Holiday Market: A large seasonal shopping event featuring local artisans, growers, makers, and specialty vendors.

Vendor approval for one market does not guarantee approval for another. Each market has its own vendor selection criteria. Specialty Markets and the Holiday Market may accept vendors who are not eligible for our weekly Farmers’ Market.

Our market hours vary by event:

• Farmers’ Market: Saturdays, 9 AM–1 PM.

• Specialty Markets: Typically 9 AM–2 PM.

• Holiday Market: 10 AM–5 PM.

Please check our website or social media for specific event dates and schedules.

You can review our Vendor Rules and Regulations HERE.

All vendors must review and agree to these rules during the application process.

We do not currently require vendors to submit proof of a business license. However, vendors are responsible for obtaining any licenses, permits, or tax registrations required by the state in which their business operates.

No. The sale or resale of copyrighted images, artwork, or other copyrighted materials without proper authorization is strictly prohibited.

The Markets at ADC follows a strict 80%/20% Vendor Product Rule to maintain our commitment to supporting local growers, artisans, and small businesses.

All vendors must meet the following requirements:

• 80% Minimum: At least 80% of the products offered for sale must be handcrafted, handmade, baked, grown, or otherwise produced by the vendor.

• 20% Maximum: Vendors may include up to 20% resale items in their product offerings, provided those items are approved by Market Management.

This policy ensures that our markets remain focused on original creations, locally grown products, and goods made by the vendors themselves, while allowing a limited opportunity for complementary resale merchandise.

Market Management reserves the right to review vendor product offerings and determine whether a business meets the 80%/20% requirement.

Vendors who do not meet these requirements may be assigned a different vendor category or may not qualify for certain markets.
