We are seeking an outgoing, energetic, and passionate individual to join our team as a part-time Farmers Market Sales Associate. In this role, you will be the face of our brand at the farmers market, sharing our delicious Korean bone broth with customers and educating them about the cultural and sustainable values behind our product.

  • Must have NY Food Protection Certificate.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Greet and engage customers at the farmers market.
  • Heat and serve samples of our Korean bone broth.
  • Educate shoppers about the nutritional benefits of bone broth and our commitment to sustainability.
  • Share our mission of reclaiming cultural wisdom around food, maximizing the use of every animal harvest, and supporting local farmers and processors.
  • Assist customers with purchases and manage sales transactions.
  • Ensure a clean, organized, and inviting booth environment.
  • Provide exceptional customer service and create a welcoming atmosphere.

Perks:

  • Competitive pay: $20 per hour (plus tips)
  • Potential for performance-based bonuses.
  • Opportunity to be part of a growing company with a meaningful mission.
  • Work in a vibrant, community-focused environment.
  • Enjoy interacting with passionate foodies and supporting regional farming.

If you're passionate about food, sustainability, and enjoy engaging with people, we’d love to hear from you!



Who We Are:

At Reclamation Foods, we are reclaiming our cultural wisdom around food - that means restoring healthy soils and making use of the whole animal to nourish our community. Our mission is to build a climate-positive food system that promotes regenerative agriculture, regional farming and processing, and whole-animal nutrition to bring you real, wholesome foods rooted in culture. 

What We Do:

We make Korean-style bone broth from grass-fed beef and pasture-raised pork bones. In the traditional Korean way, we use just two ingredients: bones and water. This results in a lovely, versatile broth that makes for a deeply satisfying sipping broth with a little salt, or a nourishing base to any recipe that calls for water (across any cuisine, not just Korean food). Our unseasoned broth adds depth, body, and a boost of nutrition to anything, including our popular broth-based lattes.

We are Reclamation Foods (formerly Heart & Seoul Food Co.), and we are reclaiming our collective cultural wisdom around food - that means restoring healthy soils and making use of the whole animal to nourish our community through traditional foods. Our mission is to build a climate-positive food system that promotes regenerative agriculture, regional farming and processing, and whole-animal nutrition to produce real, wholesome foods rooted in culture.

I founded this company after leaving tech to apprentice on a regenerative livestock farm. From there, I learned how rare it was in America to use the whole animal. In fact, almost half of a cow and a third of a pig are considered "inedible," according to the USDA. That's a lot we're leaving on the table, including incredible nutrition for our communities and a missed revenue opportunity for our small farmers and processors. More about our founding story here: https://reclamationfoods.com/pages/about

This year, we are part of the Union Square Holiday Market, one of the largest holiday markets in the world drawing crowds of 10k+ people every day from November to December. We are setting up a Korean Broth Bar to introduce creative ways of using our signature Korean bone broth, a traditional and warming food. In addition to wholesome sipping broths, we are incredibly excited to serve up a limited menu of broth-based lattes, including a matcha latte, turmeric latte, and a salted honey peppermint hot cocoa.

In addition to building out a CPG brand to contribute to a climate-positive food system, we're also exploring a brick and mortar concept that will be similar to the Korean Broth Bar we're setting up at the holiday market. If things go well, there may be additional long-term growth opportunities related to this business unit.
