HELP US BRING FRESH LOCAL FOOD TO THE BIG E!

The Big E opens this Friday 9/13 and runs through 9/29 and is New England's oldest and largest agricultural fair. Activities include agricultural competitions and exhibits, entertainment, The Big E Circus, food from around New England, and much more!




It is also Mass Farmers Markets' biggest fundraiser - raising over $13,000 each year. For 2013 we have a goal to raise $20,000 - help us reach our goal by becoming a volunteer for one or two shifts!

Each day there are two 6 hour shifts available, 9:00AM-3:00PM or 3:00PM-9:00PM. Each shift volunteered is an in-kind donation of $75. If 100% of shifts are volunteered, Mass Farmers Markets will raise an extra $8,000! By volunteering, you are helping Mass Farmers Markets continue to ensure farmers markets in your community are robust and sustainable, enhancing your community!

*Currently we need help for the 9AM-3PM shift on Friday 9/20 and the 3PM-9PM shift on Sunday 9/29. There are more shifts available, these are the most important for us to fill at the moment.

To say thank you for volunteering for Mass Farmers Markets you will receive free parking and admittance to The Big E!

To become a volunteer or for more information, please email Alison Dagger, Outreach and Volunteer Manager alison@massfarmersmarkets.org or call 781.893.8222

All of us at Mass Farmers Markets appreciate the tremendous support we receive from farmers, vendors, market managers, and market shoppers throughout the year. See you at the market!
