🌱 From First Market to Flourishing Business
Mole End Plants has been a proud presence at Cullompton Town Market for nearly a decade;
“Cullompton Town Market was our first ever market. It’s our nearest, most reasonable option, and it gave us the perfect place to start building our business.” Naomi from Mole End Plants.
Their stall, filled with vibrant seasonal plants and expert gardening advice, quickly became a favourite with marketgoers. But their success didn’t happen overnight.
“Customers love continuity, it takes time to build relationships and trust. We always tell new traders—give it six months to find your footing and grow a loyal customer base.”
🌼 A Loyal Community & Growing Opportunities
Over the years, Mole End Plants has expanded to other markets across Mid Devon, including Cullompton Farmers’ Market, Tiverton Pannier Market, and soon Crediton Farmers’ Market.
Naomi speaks highly of Cullompton’s loyal customer base and the town’s investment in its market space:
“The new market area at the Bullring is a great improvement—it’s helped create a more attractive and accessible trading space. And the support from other traders is brilliant.”
💬 Advice for New Traders
As experienced stallholders, Mole End Plants actively support and welcome new faces to the market scene.
“Don’t expect instant success. But if you show up consistently, offer good quality, and chat to your customers—you’ll find your market community. Give it six months. It’s worth it.”
