AS LONG AS YOU LIVE . . . keep learning how to live.
Education can take many forms, but this September we're co-hosting a 4-day course in the Catskills (NY) to explore the practical ways that one can make a difference in the food system. Our hope is to do two things:
1. Provide an enriching, hands-on experience where people leave feeling empowered to contribute back to their own communities, and
2. Bring Good Food Jobs users together in person.
If you are inclined to join us, registration is now open on a first come, first serve basis. Please note that there are just 14 spots available. The first 12 went to scholarship recipients. Thank you to the dozens of you that applied. We were overwhelmed with the caliber of the correspondence, and are always thrilled to be in such good company.
GOOD FOOD JOBS + ECO PRACTICUM
Everything But the Kitchen:
A Comprehensive Engagement with the Regional Food System
Thursday September 17th - Sunday September 20th
Camp Shomria, Liberty NY (Catskills)
$680
Just because you work in food doesn't mean you have to work with food. This practicum offers professionals and jobseekers in the GFJ community knowledge, connections, and skills to more effectively participate in the good food revival - extending far beyond working in the kitchen. We'll explore the less-obvious, but equally important food work - pertaining to renewable energy, water quality, seed saving, waste water, and composting.
see complete details below
Buy your ticket now to ensure your spot.
And if you can't make it, fear not: there are some other great Eco Practicum programs coming your way soon. Visit www.ecopracticum.com to learn about other ways to connect and learn with them.
We hope to see you there.
Cheers,
 Taylor & Dorothy
Co-Founders, Good Food Jobs

You might have noticed an update to our main search bar, which just transformed into a slimmer, trimmer, more efficient version of itself. And speaking of facelifts, you'll also see that our collapsed header (for those not versed in web lingo, that's the bar thingy that you see at the top when you scroll down) is also trying on a new look. Next up: a lovelier, friendlier Newsletter Archive and a completely revamped Mobile Site.
our job search engine is a work in progress. do you have a recommendation? constructive criticism? or have you noticed a glitch? let us know. we're improving every day.
