As a Community Chef, you will inspire and empower fellow CSA members to create delicious and healthy meals for themselves and their families.
Community Chefs are paid a $100 stipend per cooking demonstration workshop. The training to become a Community Chef costs $100, however, the fee may be paid in installments that are deducted from your stipend or it can be paid in full at the time of the training.
