FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Nash’s Organic Produce Seeks Farm Chef Intern!
5/3/10 Sequim, WA- Nash’s Organic Produce is now accepting applications for their Farm Chef Internship position. The six month to one year full –time position provides an opportunity for an individual in the food/restaurant industry to become integrated into a 400 acre sustainable organic farm. The Farm Chef Intern will work on field crews, assist with animal husbandry, interact with the public at farmers market and special events, host cooking demos, contribute to the farm’s consumer education resources and become an integral part of the Olympic Peninsula’s thriving sustainable food system.
Mike Shethar of the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) was the first Chef from the prestigious culinary school to complete his internship at a farm instead of in a restaurant or food service establishment, and helped develop the program’s future at the farm.
“Working on the farm for eight months has totally changed my relationship to cooking. It has been an amazing experience to work side by side with farmers and learn first -hand where food really comes from. I will carry this experience with me for the rest of my life”, shared Shethar.
Shara Truett, who seceded Shethar in the fall of 2009, will be leaving the farm at the end of June. After nine months of working with Nash’s, Truett highly recommends the experience for a chef looking to challenge themselves.
Nash’s is looking for a highly motivated person who has cooking experience, an interest in farming and most of all, a passion for learning about sustainable food production from the ground up. A prime place to explore the world of food, Nash’s has been thriving for over 30 years and is well known throughout the North West for their efforts to save farmland, train future farmers and grow over a hundred varieties of vegetable, fruit, grain and seed crops, year round.

Resumes, letters of intention and completed applications should be submitted by May 16th, and sent to: Nashs Organic Produce c/o Kia Armstrong, 1865 East Anderson Road, Sequim, WA 98382 or kia@nashsorganicproduce.com
