We'll be needing volunteers for the 2014 season.
Please consider this.....
Volunteering for the Farmers Market gives you the opportunity
• To learn where your food comes from
• Get to know some of the producers
• Discover local food and how to eat seasonally
• Join a dedicated group of volunteers who care about what they eat & enjoy some outdoor park time.

SHIFTS: help vendor load in 2pm to 3:30pm / help vendor load out 6:30pm to 7:45pm

Also, looking for a conscientious and responsible person for early set up 12:30pm to 1:30pm to set up pylons to reserve vendor parking.

You may commit to any time frame that works best for you i.e. 1, 2 or 3 months at any point of season (which is May 6th to Oct. 28th) or the entire season. There is flexibility and we love to have your help.

If you are interested to volunteer please contact info@tbfm.ca

In season

Mandate

Welcome to the Trinity Bellwoods Farmers Market website.

OUR MANDATE is to support and promote local, organic and sustainable agriculture. To educate the community in the foods they eat, the source from which it comes and how it is grown and/or prepared. To increase community access to fresh locally grown produce, meats and dairy. We support slow food - to gather regional foods, taking it home to cook and eat your meal at hearth and home with your loved ones.

STAY TUNED FOR UPDATED PARTICIPATING VENDOR LIST!

TBFM is a food focused farmers' market proper. It's about supporting our local food farmers and producers. Partcipation is by invitation season to season. Prior to each season, market management extend invitations to renewing Vendors and potential new Vendors - if space availability permits. There generally is scant turnover as most do not decline the invitation. TBFM is a small community based market and it is thoughtfully curated to keep it viable for all farmers/vendors. Or else, what's the point? It is a balancing act when it comes maintaining the ratio between farmers and non-farmers mandated by the City/Board of Health and upholding our mandate.

Vendors cannot participate without prior approval or arrangement by management. Trinity is a food focused farmers market and currently do not consider non-food vendors.
