Ravenwood is a seasonal gathering space in Kerhonkson, NY — a beautifully renovated 1850s barn where agriculture, food, art, and design come together in celebration of the Hudson Valley and its changing seasons. Each week we host a café, farm stand, and art and design showcase, welcoming guests from near and far into a space built around creative exchange and community.
As we prepare for our 2026 season, we're looking for four new team members who are passionate about food, hospitality, and the kind of meaningful, place-based work we do here. Open positions span both kitchen and retail environments, with BOH and FOH roles available across weekday and weekend shifts. This is a seasonal commitment running from late April through mid-November, with part-time hours ranging from 20 to 30 hours per week.
Successful candidates will have a passion for our region’s rich offerings and enjoy sharing that knowledge with customers—from the origins of our locally sourced produce to the stories behind the artists featured on our walls. We’re looking for self-motivated, creative individuals with a warm and welcoming presence, a genuine interest in farming, food, and design, and a natural enthusiasm for engaging with others. While front-of-the-house experience in retail or hospitality is a plus, we value confidence, friendliness, and a positive, can-do attitude just as much. Full training will be provided.
NOTE: This position is paid hourly via payroll, plus pooled tips which usually range between $50-$150/shift per team member.
