Welcome to the Neighborhood!

Spring/Summer 2023: We’re actively recruiting volunteers for this spring and summer!

Volunteer for the 2023 Farmers Market!

The Woodfords Corner Farmers Market serves the greater Woodfords community by connecting hundreds of area residents, workers, and visitors to a wide variety of locally produced fresh foods and resources right in the heart of the Corner.

We can't make this happen without the help of volunteers! Volunteer with the farmers market and spend a fun-filled afternoon of live music, local food, rotating food trucks, and your neighbors!

  • Use our Market Volunteer Form to sign up for one or more dates.

  • The Market runs every Thursday from June 1 – October 5, 2023 from 3-7pm in the parking lot at 202 Woodfords Street in Portland. Volunteer shifts help with set-up prior to 3pm, general support during the market, and market pick-up until 7:30pm.

  • It's a small commitment and a big help!

  • Please choose a date that works best for you. We'll get back to you to confirm the final details.
