Culinary Experiences Chef

Sprung from the site of a fallow tree nursery, Wildflower Farms, Auberge Collection is a 140-acre retreat in New York’s Hudson Valley, just 90 minutes from New York City. Anchored by its namesake farm with orchards, heirloom gardens, and animals, the retreat offers immersive seasonal experiences like foraging walks, cooking workshops, and healing sessions. A three-mile walking trail links 65 stand-alone cabins, cottages, and suites with the Movement Studio and Maplehouse, a lofty barn home to a dynamic cooking school. The Experiences Chef leads Wildflower Farms' culinary programming — teaching hands-on classes, hosting daily culinary activations, and working across the property and farm to bring seasonal, farm-driven storytelling to life for guests. This role blends culinary expertise with guest-facing hospitality, ensuring every class and activation reflects Wildflower Farms' Soul of the Place.
