We are looking for a volunteer to begin in March!

The Brentwood Farmers' Market is open every Saturday from 8am-12pm and we need your help! From early spring through late fall, the Brentwood Farmers' Market is the place to go for locally-grown farm fresh food. Volunteers are needed to assist at the info booth answering customers' questions, processing CalFresh EBT, and keeping the info booth stocked with recipes and brochures,

We're seeking long-term/consistent volunteers, but the schedule is somewhat flexible- i.e. 2 hour shifts or every-other weekend, etc.

No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.

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.
