NICE THINGS PEOPLE SAY

"I'd like to compliment you on offering such a valuable and well-executed resource for all of us who are passionate about real food."
                             - Wendy, Job Poster

"No one is going to put an awesome opportunity in our laps and we are the ones who are going to have to create our adventures together. Your business is an awesome reminder of just that."
                             - Ricki, Job Seeker

"I just wanted to say THANK YOU for your website! I'm now a Food and Travel Content Intern and would have never known about the position without you guys."
                             - Celeste, Job Seeker

We're so glad to be of service.

Last week's newsletter urged you not to wait; to seize the day; to get creative. There are many ways to do this. You can volunteer, dip your toe in the water, secure a full-time gig, or just go whole-hog and (eventually) start your own food related business.

This week's featured jobs (below) all emphasize entreprepreneurs - highlighting them, helping them, and/or becoming them. We know it's not for everyone, but if you are itching for the opportunity to build your own business or be your own boss just know that it takes a community to do it yourself, and we are always here to help (tagline credit: DIY Business Association).

So today we ask aspiring entrepreneurs to ask us: feel free to reach out with your business inquiries - from securing an accountant to tracking down the ideal domain name - if we don't have the answer, we just might know someone who does.


Cheers,
Taylor & Dorothy

Project Director
Student Farm Project


Depending on where you live in the world, the concept of a young farmer might be old news to you, or it might be just plain bizarre. We dug up Nora to help spread the word that not only is farming - specifically, pulling weeds - some people's idea of the perfect 9-to-5er, but it can also be a career path as unique and vibrant as the person (young or old) who chooses it. She's also a timely reminder that farmers are entrepreneurs, too...Read More

FYI If you dig Nora's story, help her help others. She's got 18 days left on her Kickstarter campaign for the Brownsville Student Farm Project and less than $10,000 to go to meet her goal.
