HFM Emporium — Local services in Town of Chautauqua

Last time I was there, I was basically assumed to be stealing. I was filling up my cart and pushed it to another vendor and my girlfriend walked over to me. She mentioned that there was a few things back at that same vendor that i’d like. I walked back over there and the older guy who is usually at the register with his wife is scanning items and slamming things around. I went to the vendors booth where I just was and he was going thru some droors that had plumbing fittings in there and was swearing. I left my cart at the last booth. I scanned the items my girlfriend was talking about and looked behind me and he was GOING THRU MY CART. I saw him whispering with another woman and glancing at me. I decided to walk back to my cart and see what was going on. He then went back behind the counter and said to his wife “I knew I should have counted those fittings”. I asked him if everything was ok and he was acting as if there was no problem.

I make 6 figures a year and I got some retired flea market guy harrassing me over some 2 dollar pipe fittings. He made it seem hostile and we wanted to now leave. Thanks for being rude and disrespectful. I really hope he reads this and feels shame. Those type never do tho. The older lady at the register (his wife I think) saved our trip with her kindness. Hopefully the image I uploaded reminds him...

Wheel chair accessibility and lots of options for things to look for.

I'm a vendor at the location. There are over 80 vendors on site and 2 buildings. All vendors must volunteer at least 4 hours every month to be able to rent the site at a lower rate in addition to maintaining their space and responding to calls from the store in regards to pricing for customers. The store is open Thursday to Sunday 10 to 5pm and it is cash only. There is an ATM at Crosbys a block away or the option to get cashback from Tops in Mayville. Because of how many vendors and space there is, the stock is rotated on a daily basis. There is a Facebook group for HFM where vendors post photos if you are coming a distance, I would suggest joining so you can call and we can hold items from the photos for you.

If you want to become a vendor, my 10 by 10 booth is $70 a month and there is a waiting list so please come in and add your contact information. If you have further questions Doris or Pam would be happy to talk to you and one or the other is always available to help along with...

My husband and I will have to return again!!!! We visited 1/25/25 and wow what a neat place! Sadly this place only takes cash..no cards here. And sadly we didn't have cash( should have brought some) but oh well, will give us another reason to visit again. I saw tons of interesting things! And some things I would have bought.. I wish I would have known it was cash only, as we are NOT from the area..and drove rather far... Next time we will be sure to bring $$$$$. Also the cat in the store is a added bonus! 🐈...
