Meet Nicole! Nicole has been waving an orange flag

Meet Nicole! Nicole has been waving an orange flag to direct traffic in the parking field for 5 years and she says it more fun than it sounds. Bottom line - be nice to our parkers. They deserve a little love. 🧡
Q: How long have you been volunteering?
A: Since 2014 (can't believe it's been that long!)
Q: What do you love most about volunteering?
A: I love the energy of the market, especially before it opens, when the vendors are arriving and begin setting up. There is always a feeling of excitement in the air. I also love the camaraderie that I get to experience with the other volunteers. They are an amazing group of folks, full of positivity and ridiculousness.
Q: Do you have a favorite memory/story?
A: The parking crew volunteers usually dress up in themed costumes for Halloween, the last market of the season. I think my favorites were Wizard of Oz (I was Dorothy and everyone really stepped up their costume game that year), and Spice Girls (I was Turmeric and it rained that day but we still had a blast).
Q: Please share a fun fact about yourself!
A: I took a 4-month-long road trip this past year, living out of my car, camping, and hiking my way across the country.
Q: What is the one thing you always have to buy before leaving on Sunday?
A: Veggies from the boys at Bluebird Hill.
Q: What would you tell someone interested in volunteering?
A: If you like the market and you like having fun, then you should become a volunteer! Plus, if you volunteer during an early shift, you get a prime parking spot. And a free t-shirt!
Q: What would you tell someone who hasn't been to the Market yet?
A: It's impossible to describe how awesome the CFM is - you just have to witness it for yourself - so what are you waiting for?!
Q: What do you do with your Sunday's after the season is over?
A: Cry, and then watch a lot of football.

Some of our #teamredshirt volunteers are shy so we had to do a little arm twisting to get them to answer. Today we learn a little more about Tushar, one of the pillars of the crew every Sunday from start to finish. (We also hear today is his birthday 🎁)
.
Q: How long have you been volunteering?
A: 3.5 years
Q: What do you love most about volunteering?
A: The camaraderie amongst the volunteers, vendors, and attendees and the sense of accomplishment
Q: Do you have a favorite memory/story?
A: Chauffeuring around the Market Master sitting atop a toilet bowl throne on the golf cart
Q: Please share a fun fact about yourself!
A: I can’t pronounce the word can’t without a British accent
Q: What is the one thing you always have to buy before leaving on Sunday?
A: Chet's Italian Ice
Q: What would you tell someone interested in volunteering?
A: It’s a very fulfilling experience with the added perk of being surrounded by great people
Q: What would you tell someone who hasn't been to the Market yet?
A: Come often!
Q: What do you do with your Sunday's after the season is over?
A: Sleep, travel, yoga

You just never know what will “turnip” in our market field... 🎃 And if you need some veggies in your life after today’s candy binge, don’t forget, the Coventry Winter Farmers’ Mkt @coventrywfm starts November 17 at Coventry High!! (📸 via @colganfarm, one of the winter market farms!) 🎃 #turnip #ctgrown #halloween #punny #farmerjoke #lovemymarket #knowyourfarmer #belocal #eatlocal #locallygrown

Today is what happens when your market just isn’

Today is what happens when your market just isn’t simply a farmers' market but rather a community.... We are sure that not one vendor wanted to come today. They came. The volunteers could have rolled over in bed & stayed warm. They came. You could have chosen to shop inside a dry store. YOU came. We closed out our 16th season today, soggy & cold, but were filled with the warmth of our community. Thanks for an amazing 22 weeks - See you next season! 🙌 photo of @ctvalleyfarms & @colganfarm #belocal #shopsmall #lovemymarket #ctgrown #ctvisit #knowyourfarmer #foodie #farmersmarket #coventryfarmersmarket #newengland #farmers

THIS SUNDAY IS OUR LAST MARKET OF 2019 & since the forecast is looking a little iffy, it's a good time to remind you that WE ARE A RAIN OR SHINE MARKET & our farmers & other vendors will be out there for you no matter what!! We'll have our kids' trick or treating, how-to pumpkin carving demo in the barn with carving extraordinaire Scott (from @noracupcakeco!), sampling in the barn, & will be selling the last sets of our reusable produce bags. We encourage you to pull out your boots & join us for one last trip to the market field this year! 🎃 #shopsmall #belocal #shoplocal #foodie #halloween #ctgrown #ctvisit
