Good Food Jobs is a gastro-job search tool, designed to link people looking for meaningful food work with the businesses that need their energy, enthusiasm, and intellect. We post opportunities with farmers and food artisans, policy makers and purveyors, retailers and restaurateurs, economists, ecologists, and more.
the gastrognomes is a blog for food lovers who want to put their passions to work. We profile the most interesting, engaging, and unlikely food professionals that we find, and we publish them here to inspire you.
NICE THINGS PEOPLE SAY
I recently graduated UMass Amherst with a Sustainable Ag degree and read your site almost every day. I find browsing the opportunities extremely encouraging and motivating. Paying attention to the qualifications and requirements for jobs helps me plan my next step and make career goals.

Good Food Jobs has become my go-to-site to post a job! I’ve submitted two over the past few weeks and have received several applications specifically from your site.

It doesn't always happen that we get second chances, so when they do come around, we feel compelled to take advantage.
EXTENDED DEADLINE
Last week we mentioned the upcoming deadline to nominate your favorite food leaders for the Growing Green Awards. Well, they extended the deadline to this Friday, December 16th.
So for any stragglers that bookmarked this newsletter in hopes of finding a spare second to enter their nominations - but forgot - here is your chance. It's a sign.
To nominate someone now, click here.
MORE GIFT IDEAS
Should you need more traditional, stuff-you-can-actually-wrap type gifts for the holidays, consider buying from small farmers and food artisans. If you're in NYC, check out New Amsterdam Market's final event of the season this Sunday, December 18th: The Winter Market. This week they'll feature a gathering of fisheries, as well as many other goodies that you can pre-order or just pick up on Sunday.
And if you're not in NYC but want to feel like you are, send yourself or someone you love a curated gift set from Brooklyn artisans.
Cheers,

Christine Han & Hana Choi

Pantry Confidential
Two friends with different career paths and a shared passion for food put their heads together and start a website to share that passion with others. It sounds familiar in the best way. But take note, multi-taskers: these women are doing a lot more than running Pantry Confidential in their 'spare' time. Christine waits tables at a local restaurant, in between sharing her latest behind-the-camera work with the rest of the world, and Hana spends her nights immersed in culinary school and dishing on her blog.

Sometimes in order to get your good food idea off the ground it warrants some multi-tasking of your own (we at Good Food Jobs still balance part-time, freelance and side jobs, occasionally, too!). Do you have hesitations about making the switch for that reason? If so, what are they? Share your questions in the comments section.
