• Market Manager
  

  The Pacific Coast Farmers' Market Association (PCFMA) is seeking to hire one or more persons as Market Managers to oversee one or more Certified Farmers' Markets operated around the Bay Area. This position requires work both in one or more farmers' markets around the Bay Area and in PCFMA's Concord office.

  A Certified Farmers' Market is an area designated by a county Agriculture inspector in which California farmers may sell crops of their own production directly to the public without a middleman or wholesaler. Certified Farmers' Markets are the only place - other than their farm - where farmers can sell directly to consumers. PCFMA, as the market's operator, coordinates with the farmers and the customers to create a positive and successful retail experience.

  The Market Manager ensures the farmers' markets operate in compliance with state law, health codes and organizational rules. The Market Manager also completes office duties related to planning, record-keeping and correspondence for the market. The manager performs community outreach to promote the market and assists with in-market events and promotions.
