Sources of funding from within Carleton

 

Northfield Farmers Market
The Farmers Market runs May through October on Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday. This option requires student workers present through the summer months to sell (and pick) at least 4 days a week.

 

Just Foods Co-op
The co-op in town buys produce from local farmers and sells it to the community. This would take the burden and hassle of selling off of the farm staff, but would probably bring in less profit.
