Job description

About Natoora

Natoora started close to 20 years ago with a very simple, yet powerful goal to find incredible flavour in fresh produce.Today, our dedication to this mission has grown into an impactful network of over 500 independent growers spanning nine sourcing hubs across three continents.Our mission is clear: to fix the food system at scale by reinstating flavour, nutrition and transparency, all while safeguarding the health of our soils.

Experts in sourcing flavour-first, seasonal fruits and vegetables, we work with hundreds of kitchens and some of the most exciting and influential chefs in London, New York, Miami, Copenhagen, Paris, and Melbourne.However, our commitment to creating a better food system also extends beyond professional kitchens to a strong community of home consumers across the US and the UK.From chefs to home cooks to schoolchildren, we want to empower everyone to make better food choices and become informed drivers of change.

Our goal is to create a more meaningful and responsible food system that preserves seed varieties, growing techniques and traditions that are threatened by modern industrial farming and supermarket culture.

About the job

Our Counter concept at Notting Hill is pioneering a totally new idea in café culture - that you don't have to compromise on flavour or sustainability to eat a quick, nutritious meal.Serving up a radically seasonal and totally traceable menu, everything is made by us from scratch, using ingredients sourced straight from growers and producers in our own community.

Education of the consumer is at the core of our mission, with flavour the key to unlocking that knowledge.Once tasted, we can encourage home cooks to eat a wider variety of fruits & vegetables and help them understand the positive influence they can have over the food system as a whole.
