2011 Vendor Application
Below are the guidelines, please read them before applying.

** Applications are due by Friday, March 11th **

1. Weare and nearby town businesses receive precedence as we support local sustainability and carbon footprint considerations (how far a product has to travel to get to market).

2. The market is limited to 25 vendors for spatial reasons.

3. A vendor must be nature oriented, meaning the products must be made in New Hampshire and carry a natural theme. This can include produce, meat, jams, syrup, honey, homemade jewelry, home baked goods, sewn items, herbs, etc. We do not accept applications for things such as cotton candy, fried dough, imported items, plastic items, etc. This is keeping in line with the traditional history of the Farmers' Market in an effort to support local farming and the promotion of healthy foods.

4. Vendors carrying similar items to existing vendors are reviewed on a case by case basis and is at the discretion of the director. In order to offer an assorted variety of items to customers and to increase attendance, variety is a necessity. In the application you will be asked to provide a list of products that you plan to sell. Please be as specific as possible.

5. If you are an existing vendor and you wish to introduce products to your offering that were not mentioned on your application, it must be reviewed for approval before the product is presented to the public.

6. The annual fee to become a Vendor is $25. The weekly booth fee is $10 to participate in the market.

7. Vendors are expected to participate in the market every week for the duration of the market. Weekly consistent attendance is encouraged as it builds customer loyalty and customers become familiar with you. Repeated absences are cause for dismissal from the market at the discretion of the director.

8. Vendor must be set up by 3:30 pm and remain until 6:30 pm (unless they sellout). The market runs every Friday from June through October.

9. Vendors will be responsible for bringing their own display table/umbrella, etc. Vendors will also be responsible for set up and clean up of their vendor booths.

Once we receive your completed application, it will be reviewed and you will be notified by April 1st.
