Job description

**Green Top Farms** was founded by a farmer-turned-public-school-teacher troubled by the lack of fresh, nutritious foods for many New York families. We have built a high-volume food service, catering, and delivery business over the past ten years. Throughout that time, we have remained deeply involved in working to provide better food resources and education for school children, food pantries, and the broader community. We have also pursued our vision for a more sustainable and equitable food system. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we focused on serving NYC City Agencies and providing food for the underserved and non-profit agencies throughout NYC.

Our mission is to build a sustainable and equitable food system by reconnecting consumers and local farmers. We believe this leads to better nutrition, tastier food, greater social justice, and reduced environmental impacts. Our menus reflect our commitment to nutritious, delicious food for those who need it most.
