What You Can Sell
Placitas Ranch Fest is a curated market celebrating craftsmanship, creativity, and the spirit of New Mexico. We welcome vendors offering high-quality, handcrafted, or thoughtfully produced goods that reflect artistry, authenticity, and a connection to land, culture, or community.

We prioritize vendors whose work feels intentional, well-made, and aligned with the elevated, rustic, ranch-market experience of Ranch Fest.
Please note:

Our goal is to create a market that feels special—where every booth tells a story and every product feels worth discovering.
RANCHFEST is looking for artists, makers, specialty goods vendors, food producers, and distinctive New Mexico brands that will help create an exceptional guest experience.
