Retail Associate & Cashier – Seasonal (Late Apr - Early Nov)

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.
