Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Are dogs or pets allowed at the Market?
A. We are, at this time, a "dog friendly" market.
In order to remain that way, we need your
cooperation.
SAFETY is our first concern for everyone involved,
therefore all dogs MUST be on a leash no longer than
6 feet (including retractable leashes), carried, or
in a crate or carrier. Keep in mind food is being served
and many vendors offer samples of their products,
please keep pets away from these products, displays
and samples. We also ask you remember dogs
don't always like each other and can get "fussy",
not everyone likes dogs, and ill-trained or behaved
pets can cause problems for customers and vendors.
Please be considerate of others when bringing
"Rover" to the market. (The market management
reserves the right to ask problem pets be removed
from the vendor area.)
Q. What happens if it's raining?
A. The Market is open rain or shine. Our vendors
brave the elements to bring you the best of New
Hampshire's produce, crafts and food!
Q. The Market closes on Labor Day weekend, right?
A. NO! We are open through the end of
September. This is peak time for locally grown
produce and our farmers bring you the bounty of
their harvest for several weeks after Labor Day!
It's also a good time to get a jump on holiday
shopping with the unique items offered by our
artisan vendors.
A. Why can't vendors sell before the 9 am
opening bell?
Q. Some may view this rule as an
inconvenience, but there is a valid reason behind
this -- without
a set opening time, it is inevitable that some
vendors arrive earlier and earlier hoping to "get an
edge" on sales. Other vendors then follow suit
feeling pressured to follow suit quickly escalating into
problems and creating confusion for visitors and
vendors alike. Having all vendors refrain
from making sales until the opening bell rings, puts each vendor in a fair and equitable position.
The WFM clearly advertises and lists the hours of
operation and insists that vendors
refrain from selling before 9 am. We ask that
visitors not put vendors in an awkward situation by
requesting they break it, even "just one time".
Q. How do I get a space to sell at the market?
A. Vendor spaces are limited to 25.
Openings depend on spaces still available after
previous season vendor applications are submitted
and accepted. Wilmot residents are welcomed and
encouraged to apply. Products emphasized are
agricultural items with some specialty products and
artisans complimenting them. Items
other than produce are filled with an eye on keeping variety
in the market that our visitors tell us they want
and whether an item is appropriate for the market.
Items sold
must be produced in New Hampshire by the vendor; re-selling of
commercial products purchased elsewhere is
prohibited. Application to the market does not
guarantee acceptance. See our
Market
Guidelines and
New Vendor
pages for extended details. Questions may also
