Please print the Membership Application form and complete the first two pages. The first page asks only for the name of the applicant and the name of the business entity, the date of the application, a signature and address of the applicant.

The second page of the Membership Application requests information about the vendor and its business organization, including the list of items that the applicant proposes to sell at the Windmill. Please complete the form as follows:

1. The "Vendor Name" is either the name of the applicant if the applicant is an individual and not a partnership, corporation, or doing business under an assumed name, or a corporation. If the vendor is a business entity, then the business name should be listed there. If the requested documentation concerning the business entity does not exist, please indicate that on the application.

2. The Business Address is the address where you operate your farm, business or other entity. The address to be listed here is not the Windmill's address. For example, if you are a crafter and you practice your craft in your home, then your home address is the "Business Address." The Business Telephone Number should be filled in the same way.

3. The Windmill is a co-operative corporation, and membership in the co-op is achieved through the one-time purchase of a share of common stock by a vendor. The subscription price is $25.00. One share of stock is issued per vendor, and that vendor becomes a "Member," with the right to vote on matters brought before the members at the co-op's Annual Meeting. Members also are permitted to elect new directors and to sit on the Board of Directors and various committees. If the vendor is a business entity, but not a corporation, one individual must be designated as the "Member," for the issuance of a share of stock to that individual. The proposed Member's Social Security Number must be provided for our records. In the case of a corporate entity, the corporation's federal tax identification number must be provided.

4. If the Vendor is a partnership, all business partners' names and addresses must be listed. A married couple operating a business may, but does not necessarily constitute a business partnership. If you and your spouse consider yourselves partners in your business, please list your spouse's name and address. Please provide us with a copy of your partnership agreement, if you have one.

5. Your Merchandise Description must be specific. Please provide detailed descriptions of each item you intend to sell at The Windmill. If you do not provide detailed information, your application will not be processed, and will be returned to you.

Once your Membership Application is completed, please bring it, together with the required documentation concerning the business entity, if applicable, to the office of The Windmill Farm & Craft Market, 3900 Rte. 14A, Penn Yan, or mail it to The Windmill, P.O. Box 709, Penn Yan, NY 14527, or fax it to (315) 536-0012.

Sales Tax Number: In order to sell taxable items, you must obtain a Sales Tax Number from the State of New York. The sales tax certificate must be posted in your booth and a copy filed in our office. If you do not have a Sales Tax Number, you can call 1-800-225-5829 to request one, or you may obtain a form online at http://www.gorr.state.ny.us/OPAL-Permits_Tax.htm

Food Vendors: You may be required to contact the New York State Dept. of Health at (315) 739-3030 for guidelines. A NYS Dept. of Health license is required for all food vendors. You may find the application at http://www.agmkt.state.ny.us/FS/general/license.html. The license must be posted in your booth and on file in the Windmill office before you will be allowed to vend. If you are marketing packaged foods, you also need to contact the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets at (518) 457-4492.
