Summer Bread Baking Internship - Manhattan, New York

IMMEDIATE SUMMER INTERNSHIP/WORK POSITION

June - August
 

We are looking for a worker to learn and then work in all stations of the bread baking: mixing, shaping and baking, preparing rustic pastries for next day's bake.  In short, all aspects of artisanal baking.  We are a small, highly respected, award-winning artisan bakery on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. 

After training in how we do things (each bakery has it's own style), you will replace bakers on their shift as they take vacation.  Internship is unpaid, actual working schedule is paid.  It is a great opportunity to have real hands-on training in a busy, successful and supportive environment.  Last summer, our summer baker, who had majored in pastry, learned so much she felt confident about opening her own bakery!

Contact: Judith Norell - Info@silvermoonbakery.com, please include resume, recommendations and your contact information

Wood Fired Artisan Bread Baking Apprenticeship - SW New Hampshire

Founded in 1997, Orchard Hill Breadworks is a small, wood-fired artisan bakery in Southwest NH. We focus on hearth baked naturally leavened breads, but we produce a wide variety of high quality baked goods for both retail and wholesale.

Built on the site of our family homestead, we started as a solo operation baking in a homemade outdoor clay oven. Over several years, two further oven changes and extensive renovations we are now a team of 10 and produce as many as a thousand loaves on our busiest days. For a complete history of the bakery look here.

In addition to providing bread for our region, we strive to serve our community in other ways as well. We are a meeting place in many ways, but most notably at our benefit community pizza nights in the summer.

We support other local producers by using and selling their eggs, milk, cream, butter and vegetables. We collaborate with schools and other educational organizations, hosting field trips and sharing what we do. 

We embrace the need to constantly refine and improve what we do and how we do it. With close to 20 years under our belts we've learned a lot and have a thriving small business to show for it but learning and improvement remain two of the most satisfying aspects of our work.

Job Description
Over a 13 month stay, our apprentices are given the opportunity to learn every aspect of wood-fired baking, from dough process to oven firing and baking. Baking experience is not required, but experience with fast paced manual work such as farming, or kitchen environment is helpful and highly recommended. The ideal candidate is energetic, resilient, self-reliant, gets along well in a team setting and is comfortable with long hours, heavy lifting and a fast-paced work environment. Work includes all aspects of bakery operations including packing, cleaning and stocking ingredients.

Room, board and pay is provided. For more information about Orchard Hill, please check out the website. Email noah@orchardhillbreadworks.com for an application and more details.
