Volunteer with the Farmer's Market
The YLNI Farmers Market is a producer-only market, meaning that our vendors personally make or grow the products they sell. Every vendor is local, coming from Allen or surrounding counties. Volunteer with the market to help us create an environment for community, professional, and social engagement through live music, activities for kids, and accessibility to local non-profit organizations.
