Ranch Cook – Winter Season

Arizona’s oldest continuously operating dude ranch, in the grasslands near Patagonia south of Tucson, needs a cook for its 2026-27 winter season from late October through late April. The cook prepares three meals a day for 30 to 45 guests and staff, bakes, handles special-event food and a range of cuisines, plans menus, manages inventory and keeps the kitchen to sanitation standards. The ranch wants three to five years of experience as a lead or second cook, a culinary certificate, catering background, and the stamina to lift 75 pounds and work long, irregular hours. Pay is $18.25 an hour plus tips, and staff housing and meals are provided. Download the employee application from the ranch site and email it with a resume, or call 520-394-2525.
