2024-2025 Winter Farmers’ Market Sponsorships

Hosting these markets is a labor of love, but it comes with its fair share of necessary costs. Our total expenses for the season amount to roughly $42,000 for the winter markets. This includes payroll for our dedicated staff, essential equipment and supplies needed to keep things running smoothly, stipends for local musicians, and rental of the market site. With your sponsorship, we can continue to provide a vibrant community space, support local farmers and artisans, and foster sustainable practices in our area.

2024 Summer Farmers’ Market Sponsorships

We operate the outdoor Summer Farmers’ Markets in Dover, Durham, Exeter, and Portsmouth.

Our markets feature an array of vendors who offer a diverse range of goods such as fresh produce, meat, seafood, eggs, honey, maple syrup, baked goods, value-added foods, hot prepared food, crafts, and body care products. Each of our vendors proudly makes, grows, harvests, catches, or crafts 100% of the products they sell. 

The markets welcome all members of the public and we partner with multiple incentive programs including Granite State Market Match and Vouchers for Veterans to increase food access for underserved groups.  We also feature talented musicians and other special guests to further enhance the atmosphere of the markets. Join us as a sponsor in 2024!

All sponsors interested in tabling at our markets should review the current Sponsor Policies before inquiring.
