Farmers Market Vendor

Front Porch Farm is seeking to grow our responsible and enthusiastic staff of Farmers Market vendors! A diverse certified organic farm located in Healdsburg, Front Porch grows vegetable crops, specialty cut flowers, polenta corn, orchard fruits and cane berries, all sold proudly at various Bay Area farmers markets. We are looking for one or more people to staff some combination of our farmers markets.

Farmers market vendors are ambassadors of the farm and create a welcoming, informative and enjoyable shopping experience for the general public.

Currently we have stalls at the following markets:

• Tuesday Napa market (April-October)
• Thursday, San Rafael Civic Center market (year-round)
• Saturday Healdsburg market (April-December)
• Sunday San Rafael Civic Center market (year-round)

Ideally we would love to find someone available to all four markets, but would also be open to hiring multiple people to break up the schedule. Please note which markets you are interested in working when you apply.

Note:

We already have an excellent long‑standing vendor in place at the Thursday market. This shift would only become available to someone prepared to staff all other markets as well.
