Join Just Food, local food lovers and advocates, CSA members, community gardeners, urban and rural farmers, food professionals and entrepreneurs for two days of hands-on workshops, discussions, skills-building sessions, and good food. Learn about cooking and food preservation techniques, CSA trends, and the food justice movement in New York City and beyond, as well as ways you can mobilize to create good food projects in your own community.
Good Food Jobs is a gastro-job search tool, designed to link people looking for meaningful food work with the businesses that need their energy, enthusiasm, and intellect. We post opportunities with farmers and food artisans, policy makers and purveyors, retailers and restaurateurs, economists, ecologists, and more.
NICE THINGS PEOPLE SAY
I just wanted to thank you for that cover letter help and encouragement. Just scheduled a new job interview next week. I wasn't sure if anything was ever going to come of it, but our emails gave me confidence in writing a personable cover letter.
- Emily, Job Seeker
Thank you so much for organizing and running Good Food Jobs. Besides the obvious good that it does assisting people in finding jobs, it also shows that there are organizations that care deeply for helping people.
- Jeremy, GFJ Fan
I am passionate about food and my resume is only food jobs, so it is great to have a website that matches up with my niche, rather than having to sort through all the crap on other sites. I even got my mom, a retired HR director and fellow foodie, hooked to your website and blog.
- Allison, GFJ Fan
We're so glad to be of service.

In case you missed it last week, the newsletter's got a temporary new look. Why, you ask? To alert you of our first ever Good Food Jobs Fair, of course.
We’re collaborating with Just Food to host the event at the Just Food Conference 2012: Eat · Work · Grow the Movement.
Already busy that weekend? You participate online in Day in the Life Auction. Together we've hand selected 20+ food professionals offering unique one-on-one opportunities for you to bid on.
While we can't spoil all the fun too soon (the auction will go live on February 17th), for a sneak peek, check out the profile on our favorite food lawyer. If your interests in food and law intersect, you may want to vie for the opportunity to spend the day with Jason and learn how he snagged his good food dream job.
And if you don't happen to be in the job searching stage quite yet, and are just a student looking to make a change, check out the Real Food Challenge Breaking Ground Conference. The last day to register is February 1st, so snatch a spot to help build the real food economy (that's one way to ensure there will be jobs in it after you graduate).
Until next week,
Taylor & Dorothy
Co-Founders, Good Food Jobs
THE GASTRO.GNOMES BLOG
Jelina Saliu / Founder / Accounting Management, Inc.
Entrepreneurs are known to give special shout-outs to certain consultants whose work seems unrelated to the entrepreneur's company (accounting and food?) but without whom they could never have been successful. This is the nature of starting something from scratch, and it always helps when the consultant in question happens to be an entrepreneur herself. Meet the official Good Food Jobs accountant, Jelina. She's on your side. She makes tax season not only fast and easy, but pleasurable because we always look forward to scheduling a meeting or a call with her, to catch up on life, baking, and 1099s.

Come late Janaury, when W-2s and 1099s start rolling in, it's natural to break out in hives if you don't have an accountant lined up. Drop a line to Jelina at jelina@accountingmanagementinc.com and let her know you saw her GFJ profile. She'll be happy to help put you at ease come April 15th.
