We are looking for a motivated and inspired Kitchen Manager to work on our Organic Farm. Punta Mona is an intentional community where we practice sustainability and Permaculture. Currently, we have 10 staff members. Interns flow in and out monthly and there are up to 15 at any time. The Kitchen Manager would be responsible for planning 3 meals a day while directing interns and other kitchen help to facilitate feeding 20 - 65 people. On an average day we have 20-30 people living and visiting the farm…in short you will be cooking for 20-30 people on most days. When we have groups visiting you can be cooking for up to 65 people. You will have a kitchen team that will be your support. It will be up to you to manage your team accordingly. Cooking/cleaning and maintenance of the kitchen will be your responsibility.
The kitchen manager will be cooking over a wood fire for 2 meals a day (gas stove for breakfast). He/she will be in charge of directing and educating the interns in the kitchen. Please be willing to learn about the edible farm food and working with our agricultural manager in incorporating the food in our meals. We get new visitors everyday and the kitchen manager will have to adjust to feeding new guests, sometimes with only a few minutes notice. You will be living communally. Our intern/staff housing is shared. The property runs on solar energy (there is limited internet access and none when there is cloud cover), a water catchment system is used and we use composting toilets. This is off the grid living. The nearest town (VERY small) is a 45 min walk on the beach. Puerto Viejo (bigger town – ATM, supermarket, pharmacy, etc.) is a bit of a trek. 1 1⁄2 hour hike in the jungle or a 20-minute boat ride ($45 each way). If you are ok with being a bit cut off and living with a community that is constantly changing this is the place for you!
3-month minimum commitment. $250 per month. Includes meals, lodging and internet access on the beautiful Caribbean Coast!
Position is available ASAP. Please write us an email about why you would be the best candidate for this position and what you would like to offer our community.
