Lane County Farmers Market has successfully established a new sister organization, Friends of Lane County Farmers Market. This 501c3 non-profit is focused on helping to grow the local food community by expanding access to locally sourced foods and increasing the public’s understanding of nutrition, culture, local ecosystems and food systems.

In order to get things off the ground, a Board of Directors is being assembled and excited community members are wanted to help expand access to local food, support education and strengthen our regional food system. As the foundation for this new organization is being built, we’re especially seeking folks with experience or knowledge in finance, bookkeeping or accounting; fundraising and resource development; organizational development and nonprofit management; or nonprofit governance and board service.

No prior board experience is necessary. A mix of perspectives, skills and lived experiences is valued. Support will be provided and there will be opportunities to learn along the way.

If you are interested in joining the board, please fill out this form for consideration:
