  • Location: Landgrove, Vermont (Southern VT)
  • Base Compensation: $40K/year (3,350/month salary) + Room & Board (value of $1,500/mo--higher base pay if housing not needed) + Relocation Assistant, Signing Bonus, Healthcare, 401k & company match, etc.

About The Landgrove

We're a 16-room historic inn with a full-service restaurant, an Art Studio hosting 35–40 workshops a year with nationally and internationally recognized artists—set on 23 acres in Vermont's Green Mountains, minutes from Bromley, Stratton, Magic, and Okemo, and next door to the Appalachian Trail.

Under new ownership, we're preserving the inn's soul while elevating food, service, and programming for families, artists, and nature lovers. Our mission: to be a genuinely kind place that strengthens community.

Who You'll Learn From

We're building our kitchen under Executive Chef Angela McCrovitz —an award-winning chef, culinary educator, and storyteller (author of 18 books, features in Better Homes & Gardens, etc) whose career spans restaurant ownership, food styling, hospitality marketing, and culinary education.

As former owner of The Captain's House, Angela built a devoted following rooted in authenticity, creativity, and bold flavor. She believes food is connection, history, and memory—and approaches every menu as a composition that unfolds throughout the evening.

Angela is deeply committed to mentorship. This is a real apprenticeship: you'll learn technique, culinary philosophy, menu storytelling, and what it means to create an experience guests carry with them long after the final course.

The Role

We're looking for a motivated Culinary Artist (Junior Sous Chef) to train and grow directly under Chef Angela. This is ideal for a culinary student, recent graduate, or early-career cook ready to develop their craft in a thoughtful, small-team environment.

Strong candidates with more experience will be considered for a Sous Chef role.

You'll:

  • Support prep, line, and expo through service
  • Learn seasonal, ingredient-driven cooking and plating (food styling)
  • Develop skills in wine and beverage pairing
  • Lead dinner service for small inn groups (8–20 guests) 1–2x per week in season
  • Contribute to menu development—your ideas are welcome here

This is not a high-volume production kitchen. Every plate has intention.

What You Bring

  • 1–3 years of kitchen experience, or demonstrated skill and eagerness to learn
  • Solid knife skills, time management, and attention to detail
  • Calm under pressure, dependable, team-oriented
  • Passion for food, people, and craft
  • Able to lift 30 lbs and stand for long periods
  • Availability for evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed

Culinary school enrollment or recent graduation is a plus—but curiosity and work ethic matter most!

Schedule

40+ hours/week; variable based on restaurant service, inn groups, workshops, and events

Compensation & Benefits

  • $3,350/month stipend
  • Room & Board on a beautiful 23-acre Vermont property (value of ~$1500 month—higher base compensation available if housing is not needed)
  • Medical & dental insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid time off + VT-compliant sick leave
  • Direct mentorship under Executive Chef Angela McCrovitz
  • Relocation assistance of $500
  • Signing bonus of $1,000 paid at 30 days
  • Creative involvement in menu and programming—your voice matters here

Quality of Life Living and working at The Landgrove means waking up in one of the most beautiful corners of New England. Southern Vermont's Green Mountains are at your door—hiking, skiing, and quiet—while NYC, Boston, and Montreal are all within a few hours. You'll share a space with working artists, interesting guests, and a team that genuinely cares about the place.

How to Apply

Apply here with your resume or a brief note about yourself. We welcome you to send us a short letter of interest to info@thelandgrove.com —tell us about your background and why The Landgrove draws you in.

We consider all applicants. Equal Opportunity Employer.
