The West Side Farmers Market (WSFM), is a seasonal, weekly neighborhood farmers market primarily serving the West Side of St. Paul. WSFM has become a much-needed summertime gathering spot for the neighborhood. Past customer surveys show that customers choose the West Side Farmers Market for many reasons but primarily for connecting to community and  access to healthy affordable food in a relaxed and convenient environment.  WSFM is looking for an intern who is interested in local food production, marketing and distribution and in learning more about the lived experience of the vendors at the WSFM. The intent is to share these findings through the development of  dynamic multimedia vendor “profiles”. These vendor “profiles” will be shared with the broader community to honor and showcase the contribution of WSFM vendors to the local community and economy. The intern will be responsible for interviewing approximately 10 vendors, some of whom have limited English skills (WSFM will work with the intern to provide interpretation or translation services as necessary).  Onsite visits to vendors’ farms or gardens will be encouraged. Data collection can include written documentation, audio and video recordings, photos, and other artifacts. Final products will go on the WSFM website, be shared at community events and help to tell the story of our neighborhood farmers market with funders and other community partners.
