About …
Established in 1999, this market serves as an outdoor weekly community hub (May through mid-October) for fresh local produce and products, supporting local farmers, trying tasty food, and enjoying live music. It's a great way to spend a Saturday morning with family and friends, rain or shine. Kids can learn about healthy eating and how things grow through educational activities at our Power of Produce Kids Booth (and the kids get tokens to trade with farmers to buy fruit & veggies). The market is family and pet friendly. Everyone is welcome!
Cedar Mill Farmers Market is run by a small team including two part-time staff (Market Manager & Assistant Manager) and a Market Board (Debbie Politi, Mike Nicholls, Jonella Malinowski, Greg Malinowski, Dean Moberg, Mirielle Nett, Tim Parsons and Ron Roden). Market Manager, Karen Carroll, is celebrating her 10th market season with us and we are looking to hire a Market Assistant.
· Our mission is to create a community space for people to shop for local produce and products. To partner with farms and small businesses to enhance community health and economic growth and a place to gather with friends. We aim to be a vibrant part of the community's health by providing food and nutrition education and by supporting local farmers.
· Community and Educational Focus: Kids can learn about food, nutrition, and “how things grow” through weekly activities that provide them with tokens to exchange with farmers, enhancing their educational experience.
We believe in…
· Healthy food: for everyone - all people deserve access to affordable fresh nutritious food (we accept SNAP/EBT & offer DUFB & Cash Match).
· Education: our market helps people know about and prepare their food, as well as the value of buying local.
· Partnerships: staff, board, volunteers, vendors, sponsors and community partners work together.
· Quality: high standards of excellence in conduct, product and ethics.
· Community: building, enhancing and strengthening connections in a diverse and engaging meeting place.
