Come cook, pickle and experiment with any ingredient you can get your hands on. Help expand and upgrade our outdoor kitchen, and create order and structure for our future culinary program to flourish.
We embrace practices that are rooted in the Traditional Foods Movement, which emphasizes the use of real, whole, unprocessed ingredients similar to what would have been found in our great-grandmother’s kitchens. These simple foods deeply nourished us for centuries, before modern food processing turned our health upside down. We are currently seeking to add a hardworking, passionate foodie to our team. The ideal candidate will possess a similar understanding that what we eat, how it was grown, and how it is prepared, has a direct correlation between our health and well being.
