Do you have a skill you could teach?

Wreath-making is one of the classes being considered!

As a fundraising for Acorn Farmers’ Market and Cafe, the non-profit fresh & local food market planning to open in Manchester in April 2020, the Winter Farmers Market which will be operating in the Acorn building, 327 West Main Street, plans to host classes on market days. Organizers are looking for people to volunteer to teach the classes. The market will be open Thursday 3-7 pm, Friday 3-7 pm and Saturday 9 am – 1 pm, so classes can be scheduled during those times.

Do you know how to make wreaths? Do you want to pass on your kitchen knife-sharpening skills? Would you like to teach others to tie fly-fishing flies? Class sizes would be limited to 10 or less. If you need a lot of table space, plan on a smaller group. Classes should be consistent with the mission of Acorn Farmers Market & Café and organizers reserve the right to accept or reject any application to use the classroom.

The opportunity also exists for home businesses to host a classes about their products. Organizers will allow individuals to host a class at which they sell products if they pay the $15 vendor fee for the day and the classroom is available. Home businesses that offer classes must be insured to host classes outside their home.

If you are interested in teaching a class, email farmersmarket48158@gmail.com or visit http://www.manchesterfarmmarket.com to download a classroom sign-up form.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
