CitySeed
CitySeed is a community-based nonprofit with a mission to engage the community in growing an equitable, local food system that promotes economic development, community development and sustainable agriculture. Cityseed has three programs: Sanctuary Kitchen, Incubates, and Farmers Markets. Its food entrepreneurship programs, Sanctuary Kitchen and Incubates, focus on supporting under-resourced chefs through affordable kitchen rentals, a Food Business Accelerator, and hands-on resources. CitySeed’s farmers markets host over 30 local farmers each year across the city at 3 locations. These markets serve as one of the leading redemption sites in the state for nutrition benefits. CitySeed’s markets team also works to advance policies related to sustainable agriculture and farm viability.
The Fellow will assist the farmers market team with administering its SNAP and FMNP doubling programs, as well as leading market programming like children’s activities, cooking demonstrations, and community activities. The Fellow will also assist with CitySeed’s food entrepreneurship programs, assisting its storytelling campaign by documenting the journey of their diverse food entrepreneurs, creating engaging social media content, and coordinating feedback sessions.
