Original job description
Overview:
We’re looking for a Barista to join our café team, someone who’s passionate about coffee, food, and hospitality, and inspired by the opportunity to work on a 28-acre regenerative organic farm and education center. As a Barista, you’ll help create exceptional coffee experiences for our guests while surrounded by the rhythms of the farm, the seasons, and a team committed to sustainability, learning, and community.
This is more than a cafe job. It’s a chance to be part of a values-driven environment where every cup you serve is rooted in purpose.
Key Responsibilities:
- Craft consistently excellent coffee drinks and teas according to our café standards
- Take and fulfill customer orders using a POS system with accuracy and care
- Maintain deep knowledge of our food and beverage menu, including seasonal and farm-sourced offerings
- Support smooth day-to-day café operations, including:
- Dialing in espresso and adjusting as needed throughout service
- Keeping the bar, guest areas, and back of house clean, organized, and well-stocked
- Assist in other FOH roles
- Collaborate with team members and communicate clearly with leads and managers
- Be curious and engaged in learning about coffee, hospitality, and the broader mission of the farm
Why This Role is Special:
- You’ll work on a 28-acre regenerative organic farm and education center: a place that grows food with care for the land, teaches future farmers and food leaders, and connects community through good food and drink
- Your daily environment includes open skies, seasonal produce, and a direct link between the farm and the café menu
- Opportunities to learn from chefs, farmers and educators who are shaping a more just and sustainable food system
Qualifications
- Prior barista experience preferred
- Friendly, joyful, and team-oriented
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
- Willing to work outdoors
- Available to work weekends and holidays
- Food Handler and/or Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) certification
Physical Requirements:
- Ability to stand and walk for extended periods
- Ability to lift up to 20 lbs and perform tasks with hands repetitively
