Culinary Manager Contractor

Farm Aid is seeking an experienced culinary professional to oversee all food-related operations for its annual festival and other events throughout the year. The Culinary Manager will ensure that all food served by Farm Aid aligns with our HOMEGROWN criteria: food that is sourced from family farmers who utilize ecological practices and are paid a fair price, and served on compostables. We are looking for a hospitality professional with experience in procurement, menu development, volunteer coordination, and greening efforts to promote sustainability and ecological practices within corporate systems.

This is an exciting moment for Farm Aid’s HOMEGROWN food. Through robust partnerships with Live Nation, Legends Hospitality, and artists, we are proving that food can be both delicious and a revolutionary force for climate resilience. Music festivals and tours are uniquely positioned to transform the system from the inside out, while inspiring eaters and fans to be active partners in this systemic change. HOMEGROWN Food has been served at the annual Farm Aid festival since 2007. We are now replicating this model on artist tours, during entire seasons at specific venues, and as pop-ups at other aligned events. There are a lot of opportunities and possible directions, and this role will work closely with Farm Aid’s business & marketing director to craft the strategy and implementation of this vision for HOMEGROWN food.
