the gastrognomes is a blog for food lovers who want to put their passions to work. We profile the most interesting, engaging, and unlikely food professionals that we find, and we publish them here to inspire you.
NICE THINGS PEOPLE SAY
Your site is one of the handful of places where people from the worlds of farms, retailers, restaurants, policy groups, food banks, publishing, and more all come together around good food -- your site unites the movement!

I just resigned from my job and between the website and blog, I have some seriously amazing inspiration (and fierce motivation) to move on to my next project (whatever it may be).
- Melissa, Job Seeker
I just wanted to say that I've been following this website - job postings and the blog - with a lot of interest for a little over a year now. I love the website, and I think what you are trying to do is wonderful. How incredible to have so many food-related jobs in one place!

It's officially 2012. Don't worry, we're still wondering how that happened, too. And should you be fretting over the fact that you still haven't accomplished your goals from 2010, let alone 2011, let us remind you that small victories happen every day.
In the case of Good Food Jobs, here are a few updates:

Our website improvement "Wish List" grows longer by the day, but we will (fingers crossed) announce our newest feature by late Janaury. In the meantime, here's a tantalizing hint: If 2011 was about gathering the community, 2012 is about hearing what you have to say. We're putting the tools in place to do that more effectively.

We're off to a good start with press in 2012. Check out the January issue of Food & Wine Magazine (Page 24), which dubs us "Monster.com for the artisan food world."
Cheers,

Annie Bakst / Owner & Creative Director / Yellow-Pop Group
Robert Hunt / Owner / Bohemian Bread
Collectively, Robert & Annie have created a haven for food lovers in a remote spot in rural Vermont. Each Sunday since September, we've found ourselves leaning against a flour sack on the stairs of their small retail shop, drooling over the week's new confections, sipping on freshly pulled espresso drinks (or in Taylor's case, hot cocoa), and connecting with the others scattered across the community that choose to trade in a weekly visit to church with worship to a different shrine: food. If the start of 2011 marked Taylor's move to Vermont, then building a relationship with Robert & Annie - the business they've built and the community they've cultivated - made Vermont her home.
