The Bedford Farmers' Market would not be possible without its wonderful and enthusiastic volunteers! We need volunteers on Market Day. Join your friends and neighbors, make new friends, and get to know our vendors. Support local food, art, and music in a vibrant community gathering space and have lots of fun making the BFM successful.

On Market Day, we have four shifts of 3/4 - 2 1/4 hours. The first shift and the last shift involve some lifting.
