ANNOUNCEMENT
Hi everyone, we wanted to straighten out some confusion – we are the official Oakland Farmer’s Market run by volunteers and part of the borough of Oakland, we are in NO WAY affiliated with the “farmer’s market” that is going into Copper Tree Mall. It is our understanding that they will not be a true farmer’s market as we are. Our farmers are from NJ and bring their own produce to our market, which was picked that morning or the day before, our other food vendors are artisan crafters that make their delicious, fresh products from beginning to end using local ingredients. We take special care to make sure we have an offering of all local organic and conventional foods and we do everything possible to keep GMO ingredients out of the market. We hope to continue to receive your support and build a stronger sense of community in Oakland.
Thank you.
Next Volunteers Meeting
The next volunteers’ meeting is Monday evening at 7 at Elm Street Grill – we will be in the bar ![]()
Everyone who wants to volunteer is welcome – we need volunteers to help run our Chili Cook-off, Green Festival, Farm Lunch and Restaurant Day – hope to see you there!!!

Volunteers Needed for 2013 Season
The Oakland Farmers’ Market is looking for volunteers for the 2013 Season. As well as attending Saturday markets on a rotating schedule, market volunteers will have assignments to head up a specific facet of the market (music, crafters, food vendors, artists, non profit organizations, special events, marketing). If you have what it takes to help the market grow and flourish, please contact oaklandfarmermarket@gmail.com and we will get back to you.
