Our Vision
We imagine a thriving local food system in Belknap County, where locally raised, grown, and produced food is available and accessible to anyone at any time, at prices that are reasonable for customers and sustainable for producers.
Join Our Growers Network!
Homesteaders, backyard gardeners, and hobby farmers - you already have the space, interest and ability to grow amazing, fresh produce, so why keep it all to yourself?Â
Each member of our growers network will be able to choose a few cash crops to grow for our markets and will be paid based on their sales. Ideal for people who are not able to garden full time or be present at every market, but still want to contribute to our local food system and earn some extra money. We'll even connect you with grants that can be used to expand your garden using sustainable methods.
Details will be worked out by members of the network, within the following framework:
BAMM will be the organizer of the network
Produce to be sold at BAMM markets
Each grower member will choose several cash crops to contribute to the network
Each grower member will be on a rotation to collect produce and will sell at markets
The selling member will earn a commission of 15% on total sales, in addition to their personal sales
The network will pay 10% to BAMM, in lieu of the standard vendor fee
One member will be appointed as the network coordinator for the season and will be paid 5% of sales
All produce must be grown using organic methods and no chemical sprays
Leftover produce can be made into value-added products at Genuine Local, or brought to NH Gleans
Benefit from the collective experience and knowledge of your fellow network members!
Additionally:
Insurance will not be required
BAMM will provide and transport a tent, table(s), POS system, BAGN banner
