About The Position

Farmer J is a fast-casual, farm-driven restaurant concept born in London in 2016. We serve bold, honest, scratch-cooked, seasonal food made from high-welfare and mindful ingredients.

With 15 London locations and rapid expansion, we’re now bringing our mission to NYC in 2025, aiming to redefine fast-casual dining with integrity, flavor, and civic-minded hospitality.
