B.C’s premier artisan cheese company, Golden Ears Cheesecrafters, is now hiring a Farmers Market Vendor for regional Farmers Markets.

Golden Ears Cheesecrafters is a family owned company in Maple Ridge, BC. We believe handcrafting the highest quality cheese starts with sourcing the highest quality milk. That’s why 100% of the milk we use is from our family’s herd of grass fed Jersey cows that live right next door.

We are looking for passionate individuals with positive attitudes that are looking for a job to match. Sales and customer service experience is desired, however, we are willing to teach the right candidate.

Selling cheese as a Farmers Market Vendor is a fun and rewarding job. You will be working independently at outdoor Farmers Markets throughout Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley selling artisan cheese. Farmers Markets can be fast paced environments requiring simultaneous cash handling, customer service, food safety and knowledge about the products you are selling. Your role will include packing for farmers markets, driving, setting up the vendor stall, selling cheese, taking down the vendor stall and finally unpacking cheese and equipment at the end of the shift. All shifts begin and end at Golden Ears Cheesecrafters in Maple Ridge. Training will be provided.

*Only candidates considered for the positions will be contacted. Thank you for taking the time to apply.
