Job description

Calling all beer, charcuterie, cheese, chocolate, coffee, pickles, preserves, spirits and, new this year, confections crafters! Be part of the national initiative to recognize excellence in taste and sustainability by submitting your products to the Good Food Awards. The catch: All products must reflect a commitment to environmental responsibility, social justice, and culinary traditions old or new.  

Enter your Good Food online between August 5 and August 31 HERE, and find more information on criteria for eligibility, the Awards, and more at the Good Food Awards website.


Judges including Alice Waters, Nell Newman, Tory Miller, Wall Street Journal’s “Slow Food, Fast” columnist Kitty Greenwald and 130 others stand at the ready to taste your Good Food. All winners will be honored at a gala awards ceremony with Alice Waters, invited to sell their wares at the 15,000 person Good Food Awards Marketplace in San Francisco’s iconic Ferry Building, and can proudly display the Good Food Awards Seal all year long.   Last year’s 99 winners also received some unexpected perks – from special placement in Whole Foods Markets, Williams Sonoma stores as well as with independent grocers Bi-Rite Market and Formaggio Kitchen, to media coverage in the San Francisco Chronicle, Atlantic Monthly, Washington Post and New York Times. The annual sales increases reported by winners are indicative of both stronger craft food businesses across the country and an estimated cumulative increase of $800,000 going to the sustainable farms providing their ingredients.   

In further Good Food news, the awards have responded to the desire from Good Food businesses to be distinguished and united based on their values with a new sort of trade association, the Good Food Merchants Guild. Led by values of transparency, innovation and responsible production, the Merchants Guild is at the frontier of America’s food movement, uniting, distinguishing and connecting Good Food businesses across the country.  Charter members joining in August will receive one free entry into the Good Food Awards. Learn more about the Guild and join HERE.
