Company description
Middle Georgia Growers Cooperative is a farmer owned and run food hub. We represent about a dozen farms in and around the central Georgia region, and work to aggregate and carpool our products to bigger and further away markets. Unlike other aggregators, every member of the co-op is a farmer first, participating in the co-op for the direct benefit it provides to their farms.
Our member farms produce everything from veggies and corn, eggs, beef, pork, goat, lamb, chicken, fish, blueberries and other fruit, and oils from seed and nut crops. We are strictly producer-only, there is no reselling within the co-op. We also primality represent small diversified family farms and natural/organic producers, though this is not a requirement of membership.
The MGGC was founded in 2016 by a group of farmers looking to innovate and address our regional marketing challenges. We are a small business whose goal is to make our farms thrive, and increase the survivability of our local agriculture community. Job description We are looking for a farmers market stand seller for our two weekend markets, Saturday's in Milledgeville and Sunday's in Atlanta.

-Attention to detail, passion (for farming or food or healthy living)

-willingness to learn about the products we sell, farming, food, food safety, and food handling and storage
-Hustle (working farmers markets keep you on your toes!) and ability to engage customers
