KDHamptons Feast End News: Tom Colicchio's Topping Rose House Announces Winter Farmers Market Schedule
Topping Rose announces their Winter Farmers Market will begin on Saturday, November 15th. Looking forward to a fantastic sophomore season, Topping Rose shares the details on how you can share your product below. Director of Food & Beverage, Landy F. Labadie says: The Farmer’s Market is open to the public, anyone may attend. We are expecting 200-300 guests to visit, but we may receive more due to the success of last years markets, media attention and location. We are absolutely kid-friendly and expect lots of families to visit. Small dogs can accompany their owner (on a leash). Please follow us on Twitter, Facebook & InstaGram (@ToppingRose). We will be sure to follow you back! Please use the hashtag “#TRHFarmersMarket”.
Cost: For this market, we will be charging vendors a table fee of $50. This fee will cover our costs for setup, breakdown, rentals & labor. We can collect the $50 fee at the end of the market. For those of you that would like to reduce the cost of a table, we will allow you to split or “share” a table with another vendor and that cost would be $25/vendor. It will be up to you to contact the vendor you would like to share a table with, but please let me know prior.
Future Farmer’s Markets: Farmer’s Markets will be held monthly on the 3rd Saturday of each month through May. Please confirm your participation monthly.
