Foodwise is a nonprofit organization dedicated to growing thriving communities through the power and joy of local food. Our vision is to inspire a world that nourishes all people, local economies, and the living earth.
Foodwise is seeking an intern to support with our new California Crop of the Month initiative. This intern will be overseen by the Culinary Program manager and will assist the Culinary Program Manager in the implementation of a new in-market program at Foodwise’s Ferry Plaza Farmers Market and Mission Community Market, Tuesdays-Saturdays. The programming involves three main components: culinary sampling and advice booth, weekly cooking demos, and monthly California Crop of the Month (CCM) Festivals.
- Culinary Advice Booth + seasonal sampling (Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays): Assist the Culinary Program Manager in preparing seasonal recipes and providing culinary advice that highlights the CCM each month at every Foodwise market (Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market and Thursday afternoons at Mission Community Market March-November).
- Weekly Saturday cooking demos: Assist the Culinary Program Manager in implementing weekly Saturday cooking demos that feature local chefs to highlight seasonal produce
- California Crop of Month Festivals: Once a month, a festival will be held at both the Mission Community Market and Ferry Plaza Farmers market to highlight the CCM. Interns will support in the development and implementation of festival-related activities
