Farmers Market Rep

Are you an early riser with a passion for fresh, gourmet bread and a love for community Farmers Markets? We're looking for a reliable and enthusiastic individual to assist in running one of our farmers market stands (these are located in Sandy, Murray, & Spanish Fork) from now through October. Abigail’s Oven offers a fun, interactive environment, based on serving customers with genuine food needs and tastes. Selling our bread you will meet dozens of folks who can finally eat bread again, not to mention the many others who just want to enjoy REAL Sourdough Bread for its texture and excellent flavor.

Responsibilities:

• Drive a company van. (One route requires hauling a trailer, let us know if you are interested in that route)
• Able to lift and transport multiple 27 lb boxes of bread from the bakery (or your delivery location) to the Farmers Market. Set up displays and keep bread off the ground.
• Maintain, set up, and store the booth, anchor weights, and sales kit, which includes tables, table coverings, hand washing station, trash container with liner, punch cards, aprons, gloves, cash box, banners, pop up booth, and booth wall coverings (used to protect the bread from the sun and weather) and where allowed keep sampling containers stocked, clean and sanitary.
• Report and be accountable to the Farmers Market Manager, communicating needs, sharing problems, and reconciling inventory each week.
• Maintain good hygiene during sales using hand sanitizer and washing station
• Receive (or pick up) bread keeping it cool and out of the sun. Display the bread attractively so that customers can see bread selections and help themselves.

• Learn about how our REAL Sourdough Bread is made and what its nutritional properties are (see AbigailsOven.com). Our bread naturally spread via word-of-mouth. We need bread evangelists who are as excited about our bread as our customers are.

The Bakery Location and Story:

Abigail’s Oven is based in Spanish Fork, Utah. We love this city, it still has a small-town feel even with a large upsurge in growth. We also love our location right across from the County Fairgrounds: trees, grass, sunshine, and a quiet neighborhood!
