Hi...My name is Dan Batchelder and I am a representative for FreshPoint CT and a member of the American Culinary Federation and the CT Chefs Association Chapter. FreshPoint is a product distributor that is dedicated to sourcing locally grown produce and helping to shape the landscape of our farming community through our purchasing power. We deliver to all points in Massachusetts west of the Boston area and we utilize over 50 MA farms. We source from over 200 of New England's finest farms and have contracts with Sodexo, Compass, Aramark and most of the major universities such as UMASS, Mount Holyoke, Springfield, WNEC, WPI, etc...etc. Give me a call and let's talk local produce. Now is the best time of year!

I am new to the area (now living in Springfield) having left the British Infantry and am currently at school in Hartford CT training to be a chef. I need to find an externship position starting in Nov. I can't get paid and so want to work for the best. Any suggestions?

Hi All,
Being that I work at the Belmont Country Club, I can tell you that our industry in MA sucks right now. I have heard from friends in both the club sector and the restaurant sector, and everyone is saying that business is way down. We had to let our Pastry chef go, and we also lost our purchaser. That makes it hard to get everything done in the time given us. I ho[e that it starts to get better soon.

I run an account for Sodexo in NH right now, but would love to get something closer to home in MA.
Also, I have a couple of resumes in for Florida jobs, which suprisingly are offering pretty good $$$.
The way the tax situation look s in this state, FLA is starting to look better, no income tax, low property tax...etc...

its actually going pretty steady at the restaurant i work at, but i do think its not going pretty good in this state... i should have stayed down in washington dc.
