The Old Strathcona Farmers’ Market Society (OSFMS) is looking for a passionate Farmers’ Market Manager to support the operations of the Market and the OSFMS Board of Directors. This position involves ensuring the day-to-day operations and tasks of the Market are conducted in a professional manner.

Old Strathcona Farmers’ Market is Edmonton’s original indoor farmers’ market and its biggest year-round farmers’ market. The Market features almost 140 vendors selling only the freshest locally grown food (truly farm-to-table) and hand-made artisan goods. The produce attracts many of Edmonton’s best chefs and its amazing vibe and artisans bring in tourists from all over the world. Located one block off historic Whyte Avenue in the heart of a thriving arts’ and festival community, it’s been operating every Saturday for 40 years.

Working for the Market means not only traditional Market days, but also activities aligned with the Old Strathcona Farmers’ Market Society. The Society is moving towards a philanthropic model that includes a bursary program and greater community engagement. The position will be crucial in activating a multi-day General Store, Market Café as well as event and meeting spaces. All of this is part of the Market’s major revitalization into a community hub. Involvement in the Society includes working with the broader community around the Market, including forging partnerships with the business community and non-profit groups - promoting it as an inclusive and compassionate space.

- Ensure regulatory compliance through local bylaws and provincial legislation;
- Work with the local public health authority and other inspectors to ensure regulatory issues are addressed within the market and the vendors;
- Maintain the facility and identify any maintenance requirements;
- Complete annual budget and work within that budget;
- Maintain complete and accurate records including processing bills incurred by the market;
- Complete required Alberta Agriculture paperwork annually (including provincial requirements for the Market Manager) and ensure vendors have completed their farmers’ market home study food safety course;
