Wiglesworth's Mercantile

Wiglesworth's Mercantile features a little bit of everything with one consistent thread; we only offer regionally sourced New England products, hand made where possible, that come from small, authentic vendors like us. The name ‘Wiglesworth’ is a family name and was once attached to a collection of farms in Kentucky (and a bourbon distillery!), which was also the passion and livelihood of entrepreneurs focused on community, building something with others, and giving back. Giving back is part of who we are. Every quarter we pick a weekend and donate 10% of sales to 5 New England non-profits. Hero Pups Hero Pups places pups with Veterans and first responders. Their focus is on those dealing with post traumatic stress, anxiety, and service-connected challenges. They use shelter and rescue pups whenever possible, and are committed to creating hero/dog teams that are mutually beneficial and form a long-lasting bond. Gather Gather has been serving Seacoast residents since 1816 when it was founded by a small group of women committed to feeding fishermen’s families. Located in Portsmouth, today Gather is committed to ending local hunger throughout the Seacoast in both New Hampshire and Maine with multiple programs. Honor Flight New England Honor Flight New England is part of the national Honor Flight Network and was created solely to honor America’s Veterans for all of their sacrifices. Through donations, Honor Flight New England transports our nation’s heroes to Washington D.C to visit and reflect at their memorials, at no cost to the Veteran. The Carriage Barn The Carriage Barn was founded to promote the health and well-beings of individuals of all ages with disabilities by enhancing their physical, psychological, cognitive, and emotional healing and strengthening through equine activities such as riding and carriage driving.
