-Handle product with care, following food safety guidelines

-Represent the ChouxPieCo brand with warmth, energy and genuine enthusiasm for the product

-Assist with set up and/or break down of the booth, including displays, signage and point-of-sale equipment when needed

What We're Looking For

-Friendly and comfortable talking to strangers all day

-Reliable and punctual

-Able to stand, lift goods, and work outdoors in varying weather for extended periods

-Basic comfort with a Point Of Sale system (training provided)

-Willingness to obtain a food handlers certificate is an asset but not required

-Previous market, retail or food service experience is an asset, but not required

2026 Dates

-Thursdays and Saturdays: October 29th - December 24th, 9am-3:30pm

(If you can't do Christmas Eve, just let us know during the interview)

Notes :

-The #19A Bus goes straight from the University of Waterloo to the St Jacobs Farmers Market, and #19 takes you back.

-This opportunity can continue into 2027.

-From mid-June to August, Tuesdays are also included.
