The CHESS Market Stall is the retail hub for our Innovation Farm, Wells Crossing Farm and Market Garden. The stall supplies organic and chemical free produce, the majority of which comes from within 100km of Coffs Harbour. The stall operates every Thursday at the Coffs Growers Market in the City Centre Mall. The stall also provides vital training opportunities in a supportive environment for clients of CHESS.
Have you ever wanted to work in Retail? Want some experience using Cash Registers or with Customer Service?
If you are a client of CHESS you could come along to the CHESS MARKET STALL for a couple of hours each week and learn how to use an Electronic Cash Register in a fun, social atmosphere. Training and supervision in use of the till will be provided.
If you would like to become part of this great Project where you can develop or fine tune your retail skills; meet new people; and learn how to prepare and produce organic vegetables contact your local CHESS office.
‘As a Volunteer worker for CHESS at the organic growers market every Thursday, my self belief has improved by 60%. I like dealing face to face with people selling good quality organic fruit and the customers are friendly. They love organic food and friendly service and that’s why the customers keep coming back. They then tell their friends and we have new customers—to me that means so much personally. I would like to thank all the Team that I work with as they are helpful, know alot about food, and always so friendly. I would also like to thank Jan who encourages me to sell which I love doing and Lisa, my Case Manager who believes I’m good in selling to the Public—this has all helped me be more self confident.’ Graham
