NICE THINGS PEOPLE SAY
I have been a fan of Good Food Jobs for a long time, and I'm so inspired by the awareness and networks you're building through your business.
- Mark, 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 am graduating this semester and I just wanted to say that thanks to GoodFoodJobs.com I have found and been accepted to a wonderful internship in upstate NY on an organic farm. Love the site, keep it going!
- Meghan, GFJ Fan
We like you, too.

FEEL THE LOVE
While the thought of corporatizing the love that we feel for one another and reducing it to one buy-as-much-crappy-chocolate-and-jewelry-and-spend-too-much-money-on-an-overpriced-"fancy"-dinner-when-everyone-else-and-their-mother-are-fighting-over-reservations day makes our blood boil (and not in a good way), we never miss an opportunity to share our genuine love and passion for what we do (and what all of you are doing).
We created Good Food Jobs in an attempt to make our livelihoods coincide with what we love. On this Valentine's Day, we're elated to share that it's working:
-
We love interacting with people. And despite the fact that our presence is mainly online, we're looking forward to the first ever Good Food Jobs Fair on Friday February 24th, where we have 46 incredible good food businesses lined up to interact with hundreds of eager job seekers. Want to attend the Fair? Check out the details and the confirmed vendors at http://goodfoodjobs.com/jobfair.

We love helping people. In under 16 months we've posted over 3,000 good food jobs. We love to hear from folks who've landed a job through the site. Are you one of them? If so, let us know your story.
-
We love educating people. Taylor's en route to Yale as we speak, to give some lectures on landing good food jobs. In addition, she'll be returning to Sterling College this summer, to teach courses in their sustainable food systems summer program.
-
We love learning (and a good challenge). And it appears we still have a lot of it to do! Thanks for your patience with the Email Alerts. Through some research, tinkering, and poring through your feedback, the daily email alerts seem to be back up and running! But, as always, if you notice anything funky, don't hesitate to let us know.
-
We love sharing good meals. And our blog feature this week helps the world do just that.
We're hoping that you are feelings lots of (real) love this Valentine's Day (and every other day, too).
Until next week,
Taylor & Dorothy
Co-Founders, Good Food Jobs
THE GASTRO.GNOMES BLOG
Wendel Davis / Co-Founder & CEO / Kitchensurfing
The best part about people coming together for dinner (or breakfast or lunch or an afternoon snack) is how each individual contribution creates a uniquely whole experience, beyond the food that's literally brought to the table. Wendel is just one of the brainiacs behind the online company Kitchensurfing, and his focus on community as an essential component of eating is the real driving force behind this online tool. It's not just for chefs, seasoned and amateur, but also for those with empty refrigerators who may have nothing more than an unoccupied kitchen space and want to contribute.
Essentially, Kitchensurfing is making more great meals happen, and you can too. Read More
Are you an aspiring chef / cook / caterer? Kitchensurfing takes care of the venue, but what other resources do you need to get your side / main business up and running? Leave your comments on this blog post.
