Company description

Redhead Creamery is a farmstead, award‑winning artisan creamery in Brooten, MN, crafting handcrafted cheeses, whey‑based spirits, and farm‑to‑table eats with a focus on sustainability and quality. We marry traditional cheesemaking with inventive small-batch production, turning our cows' milk into thoughtfully aged wheels, fresh curds, and spirited whey‑based products that have earned regional recognition.

Join a close‑knit team where your hands and ideas matter. Every role — from cheesemaker and cellar assistant to hospitality staff and production technician — contributes directly to product quality and guest experience. You’ll learn time‑honored techniques and modern innovations, receive on‑the‑job training, and take pride in work that’s tangible: a finished wheel, a plated dish, a satisfied customer.

We value sustainability, curiosity, and craftsmanship. Work here means caring for animals and land, minimizing waste through creative use of whey and byproducts, and helping shape seasonal menus and small‑batch runs. The pace is real and rewarding: physical, seasonal, and rooted in farm rhythms, with opportunities for cross‑training and advancement as we grow.

If you want meaningful work in a welcoming environment — where collaboration, respect for ingredients, and a love of craft guide every day — consider applying.
