The Market is Open and Last Week to Apply to Work For Us!

Good Morning Market,

Could it be? Have we truly emerged from this last hurrah of winter yet? Fingers crossed for all of us, especially our farmers, who have worked so hard to keep the market bountiful all year-round.

I’ve got some exciting news about our donation program. Our House, an incredible local center for the working homeless that provides education and workforce training, children’s and housing programs, and SO much more, recently expressed a need for donated eggs to make their breakfast program more nutritious. We reached out to our growers and Crescent Creek Farm answered the call. You can now purchase their pasture-raised eggs for donation, which basically means that you can purchase eggs that will not only support an awesome local farm, but will improve the diet of those that can’t afford such wonderful food.

And a friendly reminder that this is the last week to apply for our part-time Program and Market Manager position. We’re looking for motivated folks that are passionate about sustainable agriculture to manage our programs, communicate with our stakeholders, and contribute to the sustainability and growth of our mission. Check out this link to read the full job description. Interested candidates should send a cover letter, resume, and contact information for two professional references to arlocalfoodnetwork@gmail.com by Sunday, March 15th. Contact Alex at arlocalfoodnetwork@gmail.com or 501.291.2769 if you have any questions. Please share with your networks to make sure we reach all the best candidates!

Stay…Warm?!?!
