We're growing!
The Bees Knees Café is currently seeking a motivated and diligent sous chef on a part time basis for a unique employment opportunity. Flexibility- especially on weekends, attention to detail, and experience in food service is essential. Ideal candidates are eager to expand their horizons through the lens of local seasonal food. This is not a standard food service job in the sense that you will be working with foraged and locally grown raw ingredients, and need to understand the benefits and pitfalls of working with these. Duties will include:
- Processing farm stand vegetables (Cleaning, sorting, cutting, cooking, etc. Produce used here is not previously processed in any way)
- Trimming and processing meat (including working with whole birds and primal cuts)
-Basic baking (desserts, muffins, breads, etc.)
- Cleanup and dishes throughout the day
- Help with service at select events, including events on the weekends
Specific training will be available as required, but applicants should have a comprehensive working knowledge of basic food preparation. 22+ hours of work between 9-5 on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays will be required through October, as well as select events outside of the standard schedule. This is an opportunity to become part of a close-knit team dedicated to producing high quality food.
The Bee’s Knee’s Café is located at Heather Ridge Farm in Preston Hollow NY. The café specializes in pairing the grass fed meat and pastured pork and poultry from the farm with local and foraged produce, cheeses, and dairy. The weekly menu features an eclectic blend of traditional foods from around the world, as well as original dishes created by chef Rob Handel. In season the café operates from 11am-3pm on Saturdays and Sundays in addition to off site catered events.
