What is a farmers market?

A farmers market is a public marketplace where local farmers, growers, and producers sell fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy, baked goods, and other locally made products directly to consumers. These markets often operate weekly and provide an opportunity for communities to access fresh, seasonal, and often organic foods while supporting local agriculture and small businesses. Farmers markets can also feature artisan goods, live music, and educational activities, making them vibrant community events.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a farmers market manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Farmers Market Manager, you need strong organizational abilities, knowledge of local agriculture, and experience in vendor and community relations, often supported by a background in business or event management. Familiarity with point-of-sale (POS) systems, market management software, and local health and safety regulations is essential. Excellent communication, problem-solving, and customer service skills help build strong relationships with vendors, customers, and local authorities. These skills ensure the smooth operation, growth, and community impact of the farmers market.

What are some common challenges faced when working at a farmers market, and how can they be addressed?

Working at a farmers market often involves early mornings, exposure to various weather conditions, and the need for strong customer service skills. Team members frequently handle setup and breakdown of stalls, manage cash transactions, and answer detailed questions about products. Adapting to fluctuating customer traffic and maintaining high-quality displays throughout the day can be challenging, but strong communication and teamwork help address these issues. Building product knowledge and staying organized are key to creating a positive experience for both customers and vendors.

While the Farmers Market is the venue, the Vendor is the participant. Understanding this distinction helps clarify roles within the local food and agriculture industry.

Job description

Ayako & Family is a queer Japanese-American femme owned jam and bread business in its second generation. We were founded by Ayako Gordon in 2010 in her desire to take nostalgia within the diaspora and extend its offerings, through food, to the greater Seattle community. We are a farm-partnered company and have been sourcing fruit for over a decade from Japanese farmer Mair Farm-Taki in Yakima, WA, while our business is based in Seattle. Our commitment through our work is to showcase the excellence and joy that exists in communities of color and those unjustly marginalized through our partnerships and relationships within the company and beyond. Our vision within the company is to cultivate safe, nurturing spaces that encourages the celebration of our identities through the sharing and creation of food. We predominantly produce stone fruit jams and shokupan - a Japanese style of white bread, and retail at the weekend farmers markets in Seattle.


Ayako & Family is looking for a Farmers Market Associate to lead our booth at the University District Farmers Market! Applicants must be available on the weekends and have a driver's license and food handler's permit. 

The University District Farmers Market is one of the oldest and largest year-round markets in Seattle. It takes place every Saturday with open hours from 9am-2pm and hosts over 75 vendors each season, with farms taking precedence at this location. This is a significant community for Ayako & Family's as it is where our farmer, Mair Farm-Taki vends as well. 

We are looking for someone who is excited to continue the legacy of our community here by nurturing connections with our regular customer base and farm vendors, make toast, and sling jam through the year. 


We provide a vehicle from our main location in Fremont but you must have:


-driver's license and driving experience

-the ability to lift and maneuver 25-50+ lbs. 

-at least one year in a front-facing, hospitality/service role. That can include retail though food service is preferred. We are willing to train the right peep so if all of this is you but you have little to no food experience, don't be discouraged!

-availability on Saturdays with a commitment through December 2022

-food handler's permit (can be acquired after onboarding)

-interest in food and community building



This position is fun, social, and fast paced in the Summers with the benefits of vendor trades at market for fresh produce and building communities with a diverse crowd of farmers and producers. Note that these markets occur rain or shine but we are committed to making certain that you are safe and comfortable throughout the season!

$18/hr + tips starting wage with guaranteed 3% raises annually with room for review after 6 months. This is part time with an average of 8 hours a week with potential to work a partial shift at Ballard Farmers Market Sundays.
