Head Baker

Who we vibe well with:

The culture at Beetlebung is one of collaboration, passion and grit. The Beetlebung Farm team is a group of scrappy self-motivators who come to work each day with energy, positivity, determination and a deep willingness to learn from one another. We expect each of our team members to be engaged and thoughtful as they approach daily tasks. As a small team, we value folks who are flexible, adaptable, and willing to selflessly lend a hand to other staffers in a moment of need. We value someone who is open to feedback - while being respected as an expert in your department still open to constructive criticism from the greater team. We like to sweat, do the non glamorous but necessary tasks with a smile, and push ourselves to constantly improve. We like the tangible satisfaction of a difficult, manually taxing, job well done. And we like to gather for a drink and some good food at the end of “one of those days.” 

We’ve got high standards at Beetlebung. For ourselves, for the food we produce, and for the farm and its practices. Individually, we don’t take ourselves very seriously but, collectively, we care deeply about this place, its mission, and the people we work with. As we expand, we hope to find someone whose priorities, character, creativity and passions align with ours.

 Job Description:

The Head Baker will be responsible for co-creating, launching, managing, and overseeing daily operations of the BBF bakery. We are seeking a baker with a seriously deep passion for grain - how it’s grown, where it’s grown, who it’s grown by and why its quality is so dependent on all of these factors combined. We want the grain to drive everything in the bakery space, and a baker that can think creatively around its usage based on its unique qualities is key. This individual will lead the development, execution, and oversight of the BBF bakery program. 

The bakery will be expected to produce a daily offering of bread and other grain forward products based on the seasonal demand of the community. When relevant, the head baker will work in coordination with the head chef to produce a range of daily offerings including but not limited to, daily grab & go offerings, seasonal value added products, catering, and culinary event enterprises. As such, this individual must be entrepreneurial, highly organized, comfortable working in a dynamic environment, and have a growth mindset.
