Serve the Coast’s Best Stories, One Plate at a Time.
Coastal Farmer is a brand new concept created for the reimagined Dune House, inspired by the honest flavors of sea and soil and
the easy rhythm of life on the coast. The restaurant has been fully redesigned with natural materials, airy colors, and a spirit that
feels fresh, inviting, and rooted in the community. From the moment guests step inside, they feel connected to the land and water
that make Atlantic Beach so special.
As part of the Coastal Farmer team, you will help bring this story to life through dishes that celebrate local harvests, heartfelt
traditions, and the joy of sharing food with others. Every plate is prepared with intention. Every drink highlights a sense of place.
Guests come here to savor oysters, fresh catch, farm-forward cooking, and flavors shaped by the people who call this coastline
home.
If you love working with meaningful ingredients, enjoy connecting with guests in an authentic way, and want to help build a
restaurant from the ground up, Coastal Farmer is ready to welcome you into its opening chapter.
