What We're Looking For

We're looking for more than someone who can follow recipes. We want a baker who genuinely loves the craft-someone who gets excited about fermentation, perfect scoring, beautiful lamination, and the smell of fresh bread coming out of the oven.

This is an opportunity to help build something from the ground up and have a meaningful voice in how the bakery develops.

Requirements

This is a full-time, hands-on position based in the Lake Oconee, Georiga area. Candidates must be willing to relocate if they do not currently live nearby. Relocation assistance may be available for the right candidate.
