We’ve been making cheese since 2007… come join the team!
We are located in the beautiful mid-Hudson; our Creamery sits among the fields and rolling hills of our sister company Chaseholm Farm, which practices regenerative, grass-fed dairying. We are currently a small, human-scale operation of 5-6 full time staff sending high-quality artisan cheese out into the Hudson Valley, NYC area and beyond, and we are at an exciting stage of growth and expansion. We are currently looking for 1 full-time and 1 part-time team member but are flexible in terms of schedule. Reach out to us and let’s talk about our needs and yours!
Working at the Creamery is a fast-paced, engaging experience. We start the day early saying hello to the Chaseholm cows, picking up milk, and off we go! We’re a small team and we do most things by hand – we are artisans after all! It is an intensive work environment, but at the end of the day, you get to point to a delicious, ripe Camembert or a nutty, delightful slice of Tomme and say, “I made that!” No day is the same; you’ll never get bored and you’ll learn a lot. You’ll be able to get involved in all aspects of cheesemaking:
- Milk receiving and pasteurizing
- Cheese making and production
- Cheese ripening and affinage
- Cheese packaging and labeling
- Recordkeeping and analysis
- Cleaning and sanitation
Additional areas you could get involved in include:
- Mechanical plant and equipment maintenance
- Food safety regulation and compliance
- Sales and customer service at farmers’ markets across the region (please see the farmers’ market associate job posting!)
- Accounts management with our retail and distributor partners
You do NOT need experience in cheesemaking or food production! We will teach you. However, there are a few qualities that our ideal candidate will have.
You MUST have:
- A reliable means of transportation: our rural location is not accessible by public transportation
- The ability to handle physically demanding work, lift 30 lbs comfortably, remain moving on your feet for a few hours at a time (with breaks of course!): certain tasks are possible to complete while sitting but there is definitely a lot of walking around on the processing floor!
- A strong work ethic with regards to time management: when you’re on the clock you’re working efficiently
Ideally, you are also:
- Proactive: you take the initiative to start the next task
- Ready to take ownership of a project or area, learn the ins + outs, and follow through to completion
- Attentive to details and able to maintain focus through a repetitive task
- Able to communicate clearly and respectfully with others about your needs and team needs
- Interested in learning about the art + science of cheesemaking: you don’t need to become an expert but we’d like for you to understand the “why” behind the “what” so you are able to execute tasks efficiently and make best judgements to produce the best quality cheese
We are indeed a small team and do our best to support each other as we juggle each day’s and week’s tasks. We like to plan ahead but look to remain flexible as different needs come up. We often work in teams on larger tasks and solo on other small ones. We like to work hard so we can play hard, we know that beer tastes better ice cold, and we’ve enjoyed many a team pizza party and bonfire cookout. Sometimes we’ll do both at once: you might find us one day blasting pop tunes as we clean cheese equipment and the next day listening to some delightful classical music as we press cheese curds into their final forms.
We are ideally looking for a full-time staff for Monday-Friday or and for part-time help for limited, flexible hours including the weekend. We are flexible, reach out to us and let’s see if we can find a fit! We look forward to hearing from you. Say cheese!
