Job Description

We're seeking a paddock to plate chef to join our team for a busy fun summer. We run weddings, music festivals and attend markets and festivals around Tasmania. We have a big kitchen garden and produce our own cider and have sunflower fields. We're located in a beautiful part of Tasmania, close to the cute seaside town of Penguin and not far from Cradle Mountain., Our farm rests again the backdrop of the stunning Dial Range just south of Penguin. Our story starts over 11 years ago where we set out to promote ethical farming and become Tasmania's first free range commercial pig farm. We supported rare breeds selling free range pork products into some of Australia's finest restaurants. The farm and business has now developed and evolved into something much larger than we ever anticipated. In addition to an on farm butchery it has an on farm restaurant and a new barn for functions and events. This combined with beautiful gardens and a 1000 tree cider orchard has made it become both a beautiful event space and place to visit.

The farm has had a focus on not only producing ethical produce but engaging the community in the story behind the produce. This is why the farm regularly has open days and farm tours.

About the Candidate

Hospitality experience is essential. There is an element of farm and garden work and as we're on a farm we can sign off for 3 or 6 months farm work. There is plenty of beautiful pictures of the farm on our instagram and Facebook pages., If you are hard working, have relevant hospitality experience and have a good sense of fun and want a diverse job we would love to hear from you.
