Volunteering
Sign-Up to Volunteer
The Forsyth Farmers’ Market began as a volunteer-run organization. We now have paid staff but still love having volunteers come help us with various events. Our community is greatly enriched by the contributions of our wonderful volunteers. We hope you’ll join them in helping us sustain the Forsyth Farmers’ Market. Thank you for your support!
Saturday Market Volunteer
Set Up (7:30-9:30 a.m.)
Each Saturday, we must load an average of 35 Vendors into Forsyth Park with all of their equipment (tables, chairs, canopies, display materials) and all of their products. This task takes many hands and help is always appreciated.
Break Down (12:00-2 ish)
Help vendors pack up their stations.
*** Note: if you would like to sign up for both shifts and continue to work at the tent in between shifts you are welcome to do so.
