Full Time Chef

We are very pleased to announce that under the guidance of Obie Ferguson, current brewer at Fonta Flora and former head chef/owner of Wisteria Southern Gastropub, we will be creating a unique, fresh and permanent food concept at our Whippoorwill Farm location. The goal with this food concept is to create healthy, fresh and culturally impactful seasonal dishes to pair with our craft beers, which are created with the very same integrity. With a large annual garden on our historic dairy farm, we will grow a wide variety of fruits, herbs and vegetables which will be utilized in our dishes. What we cannot grow ourselves, we will source from our neighboring farms to create a truly local culinary experience.

We are currently accepting applications for a creative full-time chef to help us along this ambitious culinary/farming endeavor. Please email your cover letter and resume to [email protected] with Chef in the subject line. Please do not call or drop in about this position.
