Two months ago I was feeling aimless in a new city, unhappy in a new job, and wondering what direction to head in. I opened up my GFJ email, saw two positions that sounded interesting, and contacted both businesses. I got both jobs that week, one at a bean-to-bar chocolate factory and the other with a nose-to-tail catering company. I'm leaning about food every single day, working with my hands, and becoming part of an inspiring group of chefs, farmers, and foodies. Life is good. Thank you for existing, I owe you one. Or two, technically.
Christine, GFJ Success Story
I am proof that following and expressing your passion, and staying involved/connected can lead to great things. For the first time ever I can say I love my job and am thrilled to be learning every day and striving to do the best I can.
Claire, Job Seeker
As someone who is looking to find her next job in food education and food justice, Good Food Jobs has been a fantastic website and a lifesaver.
Jiwon, Job Seeker
I hoped that I would find a job that would impact our food system and GFJ gave me the chance to find that meaningful work. Thank you for opening doors for all of us!
Shayla, GFJ Success Story
Yours is the only daily email subscription that I open. You're doing a great thing with your site!
Adam, Job Seeker
I just wanted to thank you for helping me find an amazing job! I was looking for a job in Austin, [responded to] a posting on a whim, thinking it was a long shot...got the job, and two weeks in now, I LOVE it! Thank you for being such a great service to connect people with good food jobs!

GFJ has given me weekly inspiration to keep up the good fight for good food - it's a super helpful tool for people like me.
Lauren, Job Seeker
I want to thank you for the inspiring newsletters. I think these positive thoughts are what keep me strong and persistent in my job search today.
Mai, Job Seeker
Your newsletter makes me feel like I'm not all alone (at least on the days it arrives). Maybe one day I'll be one of the success stories you write about!
Lise, Job Seeker
I love GFJ and the employers who use it to post jobs! For a chef, this is absolutely the best site to find careers on!
Kris, Job Seeker
Thank you for all that you do. Your weekly emails are one of the few I never delete without reading.
Christine, Job Poster
GFJ has been accommodating, friendly, and responsive, and the hires we've made through our GFJ listings have been outstanding!
Madison, Job Poster
Love your site, by the way. When I was searching for a job, it was the one I went to first.
Seth, Job Poster
We use Good Food Jobs to find folks who want to work in food and also want to make a difference. As a non-profit organization that also operates a community market, we want to find people at that intersection of caring about food and caring about people, and my experience with GFJ candidates has been that they overwhelmingly fit both criteria. Everyone we've interviewed or hired through GFJ has so much passion for working in food.
Emily, Job Poster
Your website is awesome: clear, informative, popular, and populated.
Daniel, Job Poster
Good Food Jobs is one of the most remarkable assets we have, not just for its practical purpose but for the spirit and energy it inspires about our collective work. We deeply admire the resource you've personally created for all of us. So thank you. Not sure how often people tell you that. Often, I hope.
Olivia, Job Poster
We just wanted to thank you so much for everything that you do. We have found an absolutely wonderful crew through your website. We posted our job opening and within one day we got an email from a young man who we hired almost immediately for his skill and experience. We will definitely recommend your site and use it in the future!
Gail, Job Poster
The site has been really helpful and you two are super accommodating. We get 50 responses through more generic sites and maybe 1 or 2 are decent. We have gotten 3-5 responses through your site and they have all been nearly perfect candidates. Very happy your site came along.
Todd, Job Poster
I really love the work that you all are doing to connect people who want to do good work together.
Kat, Job Poster
For the past 5 years we have posted our Community Gardening Leadership Training apprenticeshipships on GFJ, and many of our best apprentices have come from these postings. We so appreciate the work you are doing in the world, and how you are helping us do ours!
Cary, Job Poster
Whenever I jump on your site, my heart beats faster; it’s a snapshot into the exciting new world of food and how quickly we’re connecting, learning and bettering it.
Ava, GFJ Fan
As a rather food and food system-obsessed person, I love that you built a space for us like-minded souls to gather. I'm not job searching, but I love reading the profiles on the blog and getting a feel for all the ways that people are building lives and giving back through food. Each job post is a reminder that there are thousands of us out there, building a movement larger than any one of us.
Erin, GFJ Fan
I read your newsletters, dare I say, religiously, and forward them to friends and coworkers to spread the honest wisdom you share within each installment. The short, and sometimes longer, reflections you post touch me and each time I read them I literally utter out loud, "I swear they are writing them directly to me!"
Jen, GFJ Fan
Good Food Jobs has been a source of professional comfort and empowerment.
Briseida, GFJ Fan
We are excited to continue our approach into the food world through local food, sustainable agriculture, and gastrognome ideas. Your site lets us do that.
Ryn & Rohan, GFJ Fan
I have been using Good Food Jobs as a tool to find out what's happening in the food and sustainability world in New York! I just love the site and find it easy to navigate and rich with new opportunities from a diverse amount of companies.
Juliet, GFJ Fan
Thanks for all you do. While I have not (yet) found a job through GFJ, it is generally the first place I look. I also recently started getting the newsletter and it's one of the few things I'm subscribed to that I actually read consistently.
Yael, GFJ Newsletter Reader
THANK YOU for creating the Good Food Jobs community and for putting so much love and care into your communications.
Sarah, GFJ Newsletter Reader
I want to compliment you on this amazing website. I've been using it for years and it is the most reliable food job website I know.
Caitlyn, GFJ Fan
Thank you once again for all the great work you do: inspiring, connecting and helping people. You're the best!
Deborah, GFJ Fan
