NICE THINGS PEOPLE SAY
This is a great site...you are really providing a service to all of us in the good food movement.
- Claire, Job Seeker
You and Dorothy are truly an inspiration in the way you have combined food, entrepreneurship, creativity and helping others. I am in awe of the magnitude and diversity of the fair, and with the panel you facilitated. I was crying while the panelists were speaking because I felt so connected to their life paths and advice. I am so grateful.
- Nicole, Job Seeker
You & Dorothy are doing fantastic work and I really value your organization / website!
- Marlo, Job Seeker
We're so glad to be of service.

Aren't we a sight for sore eyes?! Though we are sad to see the Good Food Jobs Fair (and it's fresh new logo) over and done with, the inspiration we have from being involved is a gift that keeps on giving. The event provided fuel for the fire, and we already have several other projects in the works (the first of which will be officially announced in next Tuesday's newsletter. Hint: if you're still figuring out what to do this summer, this might give you some food for thought).
But if you're not so sure that the sun will indeed come out tomorrow, and you're still lamenting the passing of the Good Food Jobs Fair, consider this: Brian Halweil, publisher of Edible East End, and co-publisher of Edible Brooklyn and Edible Manhattan (you might remember Brian as one of the panelists from the Future in Food discussion, which took place just before the Fair), shared some highly valuable advice for job seekers via the Edible Brooklyn Blog last week.
And finally, if you're just itching to take action, there's still time (until March 11th, to be exact) to support Just Food through their Day In The Life Auction. What are you waiting for? Bid to spend the day with your favorite food heroes!
Cheers,
Taylor & Dorothy
