Why not?

Join Frome Country Market as a Producer

Are you a mum looking for work to fit in with school hours?
Have you recently taken early retirement?
Are you looking for something to do with your spare time?
Can you cook or bake?
Are you looking for somewhere to sell your homemade savouries or preserves?
Are you a gardener?
Do you always have surplus vegetable crops you don't know what to do with?
Are you a craft worker looking for somewhere to sell your products?

Why not turn your talents and hobbies into cash and make new friends at the same time?

At Frome Country Market we are looking for new members to join our friendly, co-operative venture:

  • All goods are offered for sale collectively - no one has preferential treatment.
  • There are no minimum quantities to produce – just produce the quantity that suits you.
  • Country Markets have a formula to help Members work out a fair selling price, that also gives a good return for their hard work.
  • A small commission (currently 11%) is taken from the selling price of the goods, to cover market running expenses, and the rest is paid back to the Producer at the end of the month.
  • We encourage Producers, wherever possible, to help with the running of the market, but we are flexible to individual circumstances, such as family commitments, etc.

Why not pop in any Thursday and have a chat?
