Farmers' Market Volunteer

Save to Favorites

Be a part of the local food movement by volunteering at Countryside Farmers' Markets! Join us on Saturdays at Old Trail School to meet fellow food lovers and support the cause!

Opportunities include:

• Set-up (7am): Early birds only! We need one or two volunteers to meet us at Old Trail School at the crack of dawn, help us unload our market van, and assist other vendors unload their vehicles and set-up at the market. This job can last up to 2 hours - great for those who want to get a jump on their day, or like to run or bike early in the park. Involves some lifting.
• Information Booth (9am-12pm): Greet customers and provide information and customer assistance as needed. Become familiar with how customers can use tokens to purchase products and the various merchandise items being sold.
• Retail Sales (9am-12pm): Run retail sales transactions using iPad and associated applications, and cash box. Previous cash handling/sales experience required.
• Tear-down (12:00pm - 1:00pm): At the end of the market, we can always use a few extra hands to help vendors tear down their booths and reload the van. Again, this involves some lifting.
• Special Event (variable): Every so often we will hold special events at the market and we need extra help to manage them. It may be anything from helping children decorate pumpkins to organizing entries in a pie contest. This is great for people who can only help out once in a while.
