Our Host must be extroverted, confident, and connected to our mission, able to tell the story of the farms, chefs, and producers we partner with in an engaging and meaningful way. You'll welcome guests, lead opening remarks for 150+ attendees, and ensure smooth transitions throughout the event, from reception through service and farm tours.
This role works in close collaboration with farmers, chefs, photographers, and fellow crew members to deliver seamless events that align with our high standards. You'll also serve as the on-site liaison for Guest Relations and content teams, managing special requests, directing on-site photographers, and gathering important event notes.

Represent the brand on-site at events
Oversee guest check-in and reception area setup
Deliver compelling opening remarks to ~150 guests at each event
Coordinate with the farmer on farm tour timing, route, and integration into event flow

Additional Details
Tour Crew members must be available for the full tour season (May–November) and be comfortable with extensive travel and limited personal downtime. Our days are long (typically 12+ hours) and include setup, service, and breakdown. This is physically demanding outdoor work, rain or shine, and requires the ability to lift at least 50 lbs.
While this posting outlines the main responsibilities of the FoH Manager role, our team members wear many hats, and responsibilities may shift over time. Flexibility, teamwork, and a shared love for good food and storytelling are essential.
