Farmers Market Staff – Obour Foods (Part-Time, Weekends)
Are you a morning person with weekends free who LOVES great food? Come join the Obour Foods team!
About Us:
Obour Foods is a San Francisco-based maker of gourmet hummus, tahini, and toum. We sell at 18+ farmers markets across the Bay Area and operate a flagship retail location at the SF Ferry Building.
Many people say it’s the best hummus they’ve ever had—we’re inclined to agree.
Position:
We’re hiring a friendly, dependable market staff member to represent Obour Foods at the San Mateo Farmers Market. This is a long-term position (6+ months), not a seasonal gig.
Schedule:
Saturdays at the San Mateo Farmers Market
Hours: 8:15am – 2:30pm
Pay & Perks:
- $20/hour starting wage
- Free hummus every week
- Generous trade policy — $60 worth of Obour product each shift to barter at the market
Responsibilities:
- Unload and reload delivery van
- Set up and break down 10'x10' tent, tables, and display
- Sample and sell Obour products with enthusiasm
- Educate customers about what makes our hummus and tahini special
- Keep the booth clean, organized, and welcoming
This might be the job for you if:
- You’re reliable and punctual — you show up early, not late
- You’re comfortable talking to strangers and turning curiosity into sales
- You’re physically able to lift 35 lbs and set up market gear on your own
- You have a working smartphone to take credit card transactions (we use Square)
- You can travel to and from the market reliably every week
- The phrase “Take everything seriously, except for yourself” resonates with you
Previous farmers market or food sales experience is a bonus, but not required. We’ll train the right person if you bring great energy and people skills.
