Jobs: Two positions at the Lake Forest Park Farmers Market

Third Place Commons currently has two open positions for the 2021 season at the Lake Forest Park Farmers Market.

The LFP Farmers Market, a food and plant focused market beginning its 16th season, is a friendly, well-established community of long-time vendors and dedicated shoppers. The market operated safely throughout the 2020 market season thanks to strict protocols and continues to offer one of the safest shopping experiences possible in a fresh, open air environment.

The market is seeking to fill two positions for the coming season – Market Manager and Info Booth Set-up Assistant. Read brief descriptions below and get full details at ThirdPlaceCommons.org/jobs.

Both positions will remain open until filled. However, priority consideration will be given to applications received by Monday, April 12th.
