Company description

Big Picture Farm is a goat dairy and farmstead confectionary located on a beautiful hillside in Townshend, Vermont. Our 37 saanens, alpines and nubian goats live happy and healthy lives rotating through the rich pastures and leafy woodlands that characterize our hillside Vermont farm. We are animal welfare approved and the happiness of our goats is the highest priority. Most of our milk is cooked into the most delicious goat milk caramels out there. The rest of our milk goes into small batches of raw milk cheese.

Job description

Big Picture Farm is looking to hire a creamery manager/confectioner. Position is full time/salaried beginning in July/early August or potentially sooner. Confectioner will make caramel several days a week and work on our chocolate line the other days and fill in on other duties as needed including managing our supply chain and supervising other part-time creamery employees. The job is located on our farm, in our newly renovated creamery in the back of our barn. The creamery manager will also be in charge of maintaining our HAACP/FSMA requirements and conducting daily/weekly cleaning duties and all points of control. While a background in confections, culinary and/or kitchen work is a plus it is not necessary. Passion for high quality food, attention to detail, enthusiasm, and cleanliness is. We have found the most important attribute is a positive attitude and being friendly and pleasant to work with day in and day out. We are a small team obsessed with making the best caramel out there with the milk from our own herd of healthy and happy goat friends. In addition, this fall we are expanding our line of chocolate covered confections and are looking for someone who is excited about driving innovation in the kitchen and taking on this project as well as maintaining the highest quality standards we are known for with our existing products.
