Interested in being a Farmers' Market volunteer?
Farmers' Market season starts May 8th and runs to October 30th. Are you available once a week for a few hours? If you are interested in helping sustain the market, getting to know farmers/vendors, appreciate the park-outdoors and not afraid of a little physical work, then this is for you. It's a rewarding experience and our vendors truly appreciate the hand.
Key shifts are as follows with general tasks, but not limited to:
12:30 to 2pm - Early set up - pylons reserve vendor parking. Some site clean up if necessary.
2pm to 3:30pm - Vendor load in, transport product to stall location, various organizational tasks.
3:30 to 7:30pm - Help with general tasks during market, tend the info tent.
6:30 to 7:45pm - Wrap/clean up for vendors and organizational. Set up in reverse.
You can sign up for any length of time during the season. Some volunteers do the entire season, some do a few months or take a break and come back in the fall. We understand unforeseen events may cause volunteers to reschedule. We simply ask to give us as much notification as possible so we can ensure there's enough help on hand any given market day. Easy peasy! All you have to do is complete the volunteer application form and scan/email it to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Community volunteer hours for students are available. In the event we get an influx, we may have to put applications on hold.
We sometimes need volunteers outside of market season for various tasks (flyer/lawn sign distrubution, painting, handy work etc.) Market logistics is team work and many of our local community members have made some awesome contributions over the years. We are so grateful for their generousity over the years and welcome newbies.
