About the role
Calling all curious minds with a passion for hospitality, agriculture, and food systems.
FARMS (Front of House Apprenticeship through Research and Service) is a six-month paid front-of-house apprenticeship at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. Designed for individuals interested in the intersection of restaurant service, regenerative agriculture, and culinary research, FARMS offers hands-on training in hospitality alongside immersive food systems education.
Apprentices rotate through various front-of-house roles, learning the fundamentals of restaurant operations while participating in weekly readings and discussions, guest lectures, and independent research alongside a cohort of peers. The curriculum explores themes such as seed breeding, whole grain baking, grass-fed animal processing, and fermentation—linking the farm, kitchen, and dining room to agroecology.
FARMS is an opportunity to deepen your knowledge of food systems while developing the skills needed to thrive in a collaborative, mission-driven service environment. The cohort is strengthened by the diversity of its perspectives; experience outside of the food industry and farming is welcome.
