Job Description
Maine Sail Freight is a project of The Greenhorns, an 8 year old grassroots organization which works to promote, recruit and support the incoming generation of farmers through cultural programming and media production. Maine Sail Freight aims to illustrate and connect our regional foodshed using the logic of the landscape to orient the generation-long project of re-regionalizing our food supply. In partnership with Crown of Maine Organic Coop, we coordinated and delivered food, using the ocean as a trade-route. This summer our maiden voyage brought 6,400 pounds of farm and artisan-produced organic Maine products to Boston by sail on the historic Schooner, Adventure. Though we are invoking historic trade routes, this is not a re-enactment. Maine Sail Freight is a re-imagination, a pageant of logistics that allows us to elaborate and build relationships for more equitable and sustainable terms of trade.
Maine Sail Freight has launched a pop up shop at the Boston Public Market and we are looking for temporary part time workers to act as sales associates and public educator, possibly through December 2015. This will be an exciting experience unlike any other. Would you like to be the voice of this project and help spread the word about our regional food economy?
