Quick note regarding vendors in 2010

We have roughly 19 vendors that committed to the market before the season began and are taking part in the market this year. In the five days since we've opened, we've received over twenty requests from other vendors that are interested in taking part. We think it's best to stick with the terrific vendors that have been with us since the beginning and not add new vendors this season.

We did everything we could think of to get the word out to potential vendors and are especially appreciative of the leap of faith that this year's vendors took. Many of them could have chosen other already established markets but wanted to be a part of what we're doing here in Pembroke. We also really liked the spacing we had on Saturday where there was plenty of rooms for people to be walking around with their dogs, kids could run around etc.

We are flattered that so many people have expressed interested in the past week. If you are interested in being involved in 2011, please send us an email at farmersmarketpembroke@gmail.com. If, for some reason, we have a vendor that can't complete this season and is selling something that is comparable to what you are selling, we wouldn't hesitate to reach out to you for this season.

We won't be the largest market this year but we're confident there's a wide enough array of products and that that will increase as more and more produce comes to fruition. Next year we'll definitely consider adding more spaces but for this year, we're going to stick with the vendors that we have.

Thanks

Opening Day

After nearly a year of planning, plotting and hoping, the Market opened this past Saturday. It exceeded all of our expectations! Thank you for making that happen. We had vendors sell out, we had vendors need to go back to their stores/farms multiple times to get more stuff to sell and the rain didn't arrive until long after we were gone. It was perfect.

If you didn't get a chance to come down, we'll be there again this Saturday morning (July 17th) from 9 am - noon. At 11 am, Pembroke's Youth Librarian Jessica Lamarre will be doing a storytime for kids on the bandstand. If you have little ones, we think they'll really enjoy Miss Jessica.

Thanks again!

Market Parking

Markets Grand Opening

The Pembroke Farmers' Market will be open today from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM! Stroll through the Town Green and purchase a wonderful local meal for dinner. We'll see you there!

Market Opens Saturday

After nearly a year of planning, the Market opens this Saturday. We will have roughly eighteen vendors each week. We'll have local produce, lobster, breads, desserts, organic coffee, eggs, jams and much more. We have some excellent artists and will also have acoustic music playing onstage most weeks. We're confident that we have a terrific group of vendors and we hope that you all have an opporunity to come down on Saturday and show them your support (and buy some excellent items).

Thanks for all your support and we'll see you on the Green.

We'd like to give a huge thank you to following businesses and families that donated money to help fund the vendor guide that we will be distributing at the market and throughout the area. Thank you! Thank you!
