Top 10 ways I am different from you because I grow food for a living.


1) The weather really can make or break my day....or season.

2) I have a whole chest freezer devoted to wonderful vegetable seed storage. No food. Yet.

3) I work outside all day, pretty much everyday. I really love it.

4) The smaller an item, the more it seems I can sell it for. The bigger things...not so much.



5) I talk to really cool chefs every week. One of the perks of the job. Some are cute.

6) I eat my work. So does my family. This is the best part of the job.

7) I don't make minimum wage. But if I hire someone, they do.

8) I have a tractor. I know how to use it.

9) I don't dress up for work. My clothes are well used.

10) When I shower I am really dirty.

All worth it for the cute chefs ;)

Loved reading this, Linda. Everything about food looks different if we can know and understand farmers even a little bit better.

ps. if you haven't been thanked today... thank you :)
