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 really enjoy reading your interviews because they lend a particularly personal touch to the site and to the often intimidating and overwhelming realm of job searching.
- Laura, GFJ Fan
If you have any interest in becoming a cheesemonger, butcher or specialty foods buyer, running an urban farm, shooting documentaries about farm workers, writing the history of the taco, working the line in a killer farm-to-table restaurant, working to change agricultural policies, opening your own craft beer bar and grilled cheese shop or helping kids discover the joy of a watermelon radish, then have we got the job fair for you.
- Edible Brooklyn
I love how your personalities shine through, and kudos for balancing life and your own business. I'm inspired and awed.
- Jessica, GFJ Fan
We like you, too.

THE GASTRO.GNOMES BLOG
Ali Rudel & Ben Filippo / Bottom Line Coordinator & Chief Preservationist / This & That Jam
It's not uncommon for people who haven't met us face to face to mistake us for a husband and wife team, since the name 'Taylor' can easily be unisex and we are a pair in how and what we often think and do. Even those who do meet us in person assume we're sisters, or can't keep track of which one is which. So we're excited to feature an actual husband-and-wife duo who also finish each other's sentences, and are equally committed to great food for the greater good. Savor their serendipitous stories, take their advice, and pay them a visit if you're lucky enough to be in the great state of North Carolina, where they headquarter This & That Jam. Read More
Is This & That Jam totally your jam? Invest in their entrepreneurial venture through their IndieGoGo campaign, which conveniently ends on National PB&J Day.
Are you a dyanmic duo with a killer food idea? If so, what's stopping you? Can we help? Leave your comments on this blog post.
