Farmers' Market Helpers/Cooks Needed

Help sell locally sourced food outside at the farmers' market on weekend mornings. We need helpers at our market booths in Richmond at the Bryan Park Market on Saturday mornings and the South of the James Market on Sundays. Need both cooks and 'front booth' salespeople. Like applicants to be generally comfortable with both roles.

We are a heritage hog farm in western Goochland County who also vends hot food (breakfast sandwiches) at farm markets featuring the pork we raise [www.HogHavenFarm.com]. Market shifts are a part-time weekend morning opportunity, $11 to 13 per hour to start, plus tips and bonuses ($25+/hr typical on a busy day, cash payment at end of shift). Worker discount also offered and 1 free sandwich per shift (there is a 3 shift training period, base pay only).

Some additional weekday hours possible doing food prep. Preference given to candidates who are interested in this.

Ability to lift up to 50lbs and reliable transportation required. Market starts early and is rain or shine! So can't be afraid to get up on the weekend or to work outside on days when the weather is not so great.

Particularly in need at the moment of those that have an appropriate vehicle to carry supplies and willingness to do so to and from a nearby storage unit and the markets (extra comp for this).

Please note that most days this is a bustling and very fast paced sales environment that is similar to working in a busy restaurant. We are interested only in people who enjoy this type of activity and understand the sense of urgency required when things get busy.

We are also most interested in candidates that have a set schedule and would like a longer term, part-time, weekend position, not those that need full time and are only looking at this as a short-term fix. There is a significant amount of training required.

Text or email and tell us why you're a good fit, and why the job is a good fit for you.

[PLEASE NO CALLS]

This is a 1099 contractor position.
