This requires arriving bright and early to the fields rain or shine, ready to harvest for the first part of the day, and then move to the washroom to clean and package vegetables/fruits and make bouquets. Occasionally we will need help at the farmers markets. We do the Armory Park farmers market on Thursdays from 3-6pm and the Mount Hope Farmers Market in Bristol from 9am-1pm. There will also be a few restaurant orders to fulfill.
