The Newport Beach Farmers' Market is a Certified Farmers' Market with a "farmer first" philosophy. Sundays from 9am-1pm, the market brings together sustainable California farms, local artisans, musicians and community members. The market has a sister nonprofit, Good Habits. Good Habits is a 501(c)(3) that educates children and families on the importance of fresh fruits and vegetables and gives food-insecure individuals access to locally grown produce.
Quick Overview: Our opportunities allow you to see what it takes to run a community farmers' market, meet our vendors and experience our customers first hand. Learn more about or promote sustainable food and volunteer through an educational program.
You will have the opportunity to select your area of interest(s). The following are needed roles:
