Market Day Team

ABOUT US

The vision of Melbourne Farmers Markets is to connect urban communities with Victorian food producers. Our markets at Carlton, Coburg and Alphington showcase the best of real, local food and Alphington Community Food Hub has been designed to support food producers, build vibrant communities and promote sustainable living practices.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Melbourne Farmers Markets (MFM) runs three established weekly markets across three sites – Carlton and Coburg on Saturdays and Alphington every Sunday. The markets welcome between 25 – 40 stallholders each week.

This role has been developed to work with our Market Day Team on market days, with the opportunity to develop this role into market management.

  • be a customer service superstar – you will be talking to both our stallholders and the shoppers coming through the farmers’ market gates.
  • be a ‘can do’ kind of person – we set up market sites, we manage the stallholders, we are calm in any emergency and we pack down each market and make sure our sites are left as we found them
  • want to be a part of the Victorian agriculture and food community.
