ALWAYS SEEKING VOLUNTEERS!
It truly takes a village to keep the vision of Gilmanton’s Own alive. 
Nearly everything that happens at the market, or associated with it, relies on the effort of dedicated volunteers. We are especially in need of people who would like to serve the community by working in the Market during Market hours — meet lots of good people, help them access our wonderful products, support local farmers and artists. We train, so don’t worry about what retail experience you have!
