Brian's Farmers Markets truly value our volunteers. We will make every effort to see that you have a meaningful and pleasant experience.

As a volunteer you will be expected to act in a professional and courtesy manner when you are not able to attend the market.  Notice of 24 hrs is strongly requested.  However, if you have a sudden illness and cannot make the market a phone call or text message is mandatory.

The bulk of the work is done at the beginning and the end of the markets.

5. Surveys, and other types of marketing research  (in the works)
6. Weekly basket give aways (in the works)

End of the market:

2. Collect the signs
3. tie up the garbage bags and recycling bags
4. Sweep the area, make sure no trash is anywhere to be found
