Volunteer at the Mt. Vernon Triangle Farmers Market
FRESHFARM builds a more equitable, sustainable, and resilient food system in the Mid-Atlantic region through hands-on education, farmers markets, farm stands, and food distribution programs. Join our team as a Farmers Market Volunteer!
We are currently in great need of volunteers that can speak both Mandarin and English, to assist with translations at our farmers market information tent. Volunteers will assist FRESHFARM Market Staff to communicate the details of vital food access programs to our Mt. Vernon Triangle Market customers that speak Mandarin Chinese.
The Mt. Vernon Triangle Farms Market runs every Saturday morning, year-round, from 9am-1pm.

About FRESHFARM Markets
Location:

Mission Statement
FRESHFARM is a nonprofit that promotes sustainable agriculture and improves food access, education, and equity in the Mid-Atlantic region. We operate producer-only farmers markets that provide vital economic opportunities to local farmers and food producers, pioneering food distribution programs that increase food access for low-income neighborhoods, and innovative food education programs that build healthier communities.
Description
Our founders Bernadine Prince and Ann Harvey Yonkers launched FRESHFARM as a public education program of the American Farmland Trust in 1996. The next year, on July 4, 1997, they opened the Dupont Circle farmers market in Washington, DC with 15 farmers from four states selling fruits, vegetables, flowers, and plants.
In 2019 Hugo Mogollon joined FRESHFARM as executive director. As part of Hugo’s new leadership of the organization, FRESHFARM merged with Community Foodworks, a peer organization which Hugo had led for 5 years, to become the largest farmers market organization in the Mid-Atlantic. Through this merger, FRESHFARM’s capacity has expanded significantly, and we aim to increase access for our community to fresh, local foods, expand food education, and transform our regional food system.
