Ware’s Warf & Mercantile is built on the idea that trade works best when it is personal.

Our vendors—both permanent and rotating—are individuals and small businesses who believe in making, finding, and sharing things with care. Some are here year-round. Others pass through for a season or a single weekend. Together, they shape the character of the space.

Permanent vendors form the backbone of the market. Their work is present day after day, grounding the space and giving it continuity. Many of them work with reclaimed materials, vintage goods, or time-honored methods. Their displays change slowly, shaped by availability, season, and discovery rather than trends. These vendors are part of the daily life of the market and help give Ware’s Warf & Mercantile its sense of place.

Rotating and pop-up vendors bring movement into the space. They arrive with new work, fresh perspectives, and limited collections. Some are just starting out. Others are established but passing through. Their presence keeps the market open and evolving, offering visitors something different each time they return.

We choose our vendors with intention. We look for people who value quality, sustainability, and honest trade—those who care where things come from and where they go next. Whether permanent or temporary, each vendor is here because their work aligns with the larger purpose of the market.

Ware’s Warf & Mercantile is not about filling space. It is about sharing it. The exchange that happens here—between maker and buyer, past and present, object and story—is what gives the market its meaning.
