Blue Hill at Stone Barns Accused of Poor Workplace Culture and More in New Report | Bon Appétit
"The Rockefeller-founded nonprofit farm and educational center that houses the restaurant is accused by former apprentices and staff of fostering a sexist, "boys club" atmosphere and of unsafe or coercive labor practices—allegations include hazing, being asked to perform rooftop greenhouse work without harnesses, and increased workloads after the organization began managing additional pastureland. Critics also describe instances of unnecessary animal suffering and decisions that prioritized production over animal wellbeing; the organization has disputed these accounts, defended its safety record, and said it prioritizes animal and landscape health." - ByElazar Sontag
