Farmers Market Assistant & Driver - Organic Farm

Wright Brothers Farm is a family owned, organic vegetable farm focused on growing great tasting, nutritious, high quality fresh produce and herbs for families and chefs alike.

We have a part-time position as market assistant at the Queen Ann Farmers Market on Thursdays now through mid-October. You will assist loading the van at the farm in Ferndale, then drive to the Queen Ann Farmers Market in Seattle, WA. There, you will work with one of the farm owners to set up the market display, educate customers on farm produce and record sales on a Square reader, break down the display and return to the farm in Ferndale. A great opportunity to gain customer facing experience! This is a 12 hour shift.
