Vendor Inquiries Accepted for Hamden Farmer's Market

Applications are being accepted for the 2013 season of the Hamden Farmer's Market, which opens next month.


From the Hamden Economic Development Commission:

THE TOWN OF HAMDEN WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO BE A VENDOR AT THE 2013 FARMER'S MARKET 

Fridays  from June 28th – October 4th, 2013 

11:00 am-3:00 pm 

These warmer temperatures and sunny skies are a pleasant reminder that summer is right around the corner. And one of the highlights of summer in Hamden is the Town's Friday Farmer's Market, held at the entrance to Town Center Park.

With the construction of the Town's very first All Abilities Playground almost underway, the park is set to be the number one destination for area residents all summer and fall long. 

The Friday Farmer's Market has been steadily growing over the past six years. Last summer saw the market branch out with the addition of a few carefully selected craft vendors. We are looking to continue this growth and would like to invite inquiries for spots at this season's market.

The season begins Friday, June 28 and closes on Friday, October 4. The hours of the market are 11 a.m. - 3 p.m., which lends itself nicely to prepared food vendors for the lunch crowd. A regular market day sees approximately 250-400 visitors and the addition of the playground should increase this quite a bit.

We do require that any produce/food/craft items must be CT Grown (or made). We're open to fresh ideas and welcome inquiries. Please contact Sharon Regan in Hamden's Economic Development Department at 203-287-7030 or via email at sregan@hamden.com.

We look forward to working with you!
