Circle Z Ranch
Circle Z Ranch, a historic guest ranch in Patagonia, Arizona near the Mexican border and the Sonoita wine country, is hiring a Chef/Cook for its fall and winter season running from October 25, 2026 through late April 2027. The ranch employs 18 to 22 staff each season and provides clean and comfortable staff housing along with healthy staff meals; the listing does not state whether a housing deduction applies. Pay is 18.50 USD per hour plus tips. This is a fixed-season role suited to people relocating for the winter: the ranch states its staff season runs from the middle of October to the early part of May. The ranch recommends that staff have their own transportation given the rural location. Apply through the ranch own online employment application, which currently lists Cook among its open positions.
