Elmwood Stock Farm

The Farmers Market Sales Associateis the friendly face of the farm on market day. In this role, you’ll greet customers, share your enthusiasm for good food, and help shoppers choose from our fresh vegetables, flowers, herbs, meats, eggs, and other farm products. If you enjoy talking with people, being part of a lively market atmosphere, and helping customers head home with bags full of delicious food, this is a great fit. Market days start with teamwork. You may help load the van at the farm and travel to the market, or meet the team there to set up the booth. Throughout the morning you’ll help create a beautiful, well-stocked display, answer questions about our products and farm, ring up sales, and keep things running smoothly as the market bustles. At the end of the day, the team packs up the booth and returns products and equipment to the farm. This job is ideal for someone who likes staying active, enjoys being outdoors, and thrives in a fast-paced, friendly environment. A positive attitude, a willingness to jump in where needed, and a genuine enjoyment of helping people are key. Market days are busy, fun, and rewarding—and you’ll play an important role in connecting our farm with the community. Interested? Please complete this Elmwood Stock Farm application online.
