Fare Trade Coop is in its first year of operation. We are a collection of small artisanal food entrepreneurs committed to improving our food community through sharing resources, experiences and supporting one another.
The Fare Trade Fellowship is a six month program geared towards hands-on experience in the artisanal food community focused in the 5 boroughs. The ideal candidate for this position is an individual looking to transition into the artisanal food community by supporting and experiencing first hand the many facets of owning and maintaining a small craft production business. The program strongly emphasises community building, volunteer work, hands on learning and a dedication to thoughtful and sustainable food production in order to enact positive change in our food world. Be prepared to engage with many different personalities and work environments to gain a well rounded understanding of the artisan food community today. The fellowship is built around kitchen production work, market sales, social media development and administrative tasks relating to small business.
