Farm-to-table Kitchen Staff / BBQ Pit Crew
Job Overview: We run an atypical kitchen (actually, we operate two atypical kitchens). We encourage teamwork and camaraderie here. There is no head chef, instead, we find which food/cooking station each person is most skilled at and then work together to prepare and expedite our food service. We love to collaborate on menu and methods as much as we can. The central theme in the kitchen is using food that is in-season, cooking with fresh local ingredients and truly showcasing what we produce here on the farm.

Lord of Fries:
Job overview: Extremely physically demanding work in serving a perfect Pomme Frite to hundreds of happy people. We use only local potatoes, which you will hand cut in our potato slicer. If you love getting into the fast paced flow of "the zone,” working your body extremely hard, and obsessing over the perfect amount of crispy outside, tender moist cloud like interior of French Fry Perfection…well, then, this job is for you.
Shift details: Our BBQ is open Saturdays and Sunday in the summer, and we serve fries in the indoor kitchen Friday-Sunday in the spring, fall, and winter. Fryers run 12-7 or 8pm, but there is plenty of other kitchen work as well, and one person does not need to just do Fries everyday, we trade off to keep things interesting!
Skills we require and tasks that will be performed daily:
-Passion about a job that some would consider menial. Here at Stone Cow this is a skilled job that is revered. If the fry station cannot keep up with demand, then the entire kitchen crumbles. We take great pride in the excellence of our French fries.
-Ability to work in hot kitchen
-Willing to clean fryers weekly to high standards.
-Common sense and safety minded person, able to understand the danger of working with hot oil.
-Ability to lift and carry a minimum of 50 lbs long distances from the storage area to the fryers.
-Ability to adore French fries everyday! haha, not kidding!
