    Description

    FRESHFARM Farmers Market Volunteer

    Volunteer at your local 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!

    Market Volunteers play a number of roles at FRESHFARM including helping with our market operations, assisting with food access programs, and adding to FRESHFARM’s spirit of community by greeting customers and answering questions. Volunteer opportunities are available at our Farmers Markets and Farm Stands throughout Washington DC, Fairfax County, and Arlington County.

    We are in need of volunteers at our locations in Washington DC.
