Enjoy having access to fresh, California-grown fruits and veggies? Love the community at your local farmers’ market? Want to learn more about local and sustainable agriculture, and help others to learn more about it too? Get involved as a Farmers’ Market Concierge at the Jack London Square Farmers' Market!
The Jack London Square Farmers' Market runs every Sunday from 9am-2pm in Oakland's Jack London Square.
In order to better serve the community, PCFMA is seeking volunteer Farmers’ Market Concierges to assist with activities such as:
- Providing a positive and friendly presence at PCFMA’s info booth at the market
- Providing shoppers with information about upcoming events and what’s new at the market
- Processing CalFresh (food stamps), so that recipients are able to purchase fresh, healthy food
- Special events such as fresh produce samplings, kids’ activities and interactive learning games

About Fresh Approach

Mission Statement
Our mission is to create long-term change in local food systems, by connecting California communities with healthy food from California farmers and expanding knowledge about food and nutrition.
Description
Our programs empower families to make sustainable lifestyle changes by expanding their nutrition, cooking, and gardening skills, and by boosting their access to local, affordable produce.
Local farms benefit, too, as our programs make it possible for small farms to sell in communities that would otherwise lack access to their products, while helping farmers diversify their sales through guaranteed weekly orders.
This grassroots community empowerment has a ripple effect that supports small family farms, promotes sustainability and responsible stewardship in agriculture, breaks down systemic barriers, and strengthens the local economy - all while growing community interest in healthy eating.
We believe that everyone should have equal access to healthy food, and that the health of our communities and the livelihood of our local farmers should go hand-in-hand.
