At the NeighbourFood Market, good food sellers from in and around the city meet.
It’s a meeting place for caterers, eco farmers, traiteurs, bakers, butchers, celebrated local chefs, cheesemakers, sausagemakers, juice pressers, soup boilers, sandwich heroes, fanatical foodies, baristas, lords of the tea, enthousiastic producers and distributors…
in other words: everyone from the city who offers fine food and drinks, along with love and a story.
The NeighbourFood Market always takes place at the Westergas terrain in Amsterdam.
The Westergas terrain is a location with a story, just like everything at the market has its story. An excellent place to stroll along the stands, gather your meal and eat it, sitting at a long table filled with good friends or on an old Chesterfield from the thrift shop.
The NeighbourFood Market
What is the NeighbourFood Market?
What is my job at NFM?
I was visiting the NeighbourFood Market and I loved being there. Every little detail felt right and I loved the atmosphere. I knew the people of the organisation and we discoverd that they were looking for an intern and I was looking for an internship. They offered me to come work for them. I took the job and travelled for four hours everyday to work at their office in Amsterdam.
I was responsible for the (post) production of the monthly event and I loved every second of it. I chose the contestants and made the map of all the stands. I wrote the newsletters and was in contact with media partners. I made invoices and helped wherever I was needed. I loved talking to all the constestants during the market and making sure that everything went right. My internship is over but I am still helping them every month during the NeighbourFood Market.
