Wanted: Chef for Baby aWEARness Café


Baby aWEARness is looking for a chef (professional or novice) interested in local, sustainable and organic food to sublet their café space 2-3 days a week to serve healthy lunch and snacks. Terms of the arrangement are negotiable based on experience and availability.

The dream for this cafe is to provide a space for someone who loves to cook local organic food but cannot afford the overhead of their own café. The customer base is primary moms and their babies, so the menu should also feature small edible healthy treats for children.

Please pass this information along to anyone who may be interested in learning more about this. Interested parties can contact: Ashley@babyawearness.com for more information.
