Michael jumping into the deep end
Hey everybody,
Well it's been three weeks and some change since I arrived at Willie Green's. I originally imagined myself working at the markets this year, because back in the Fall of 2004 that's what Jeff mentioned would be a possibility. However during the spring and early summer a different role developed for me... It's kind of hard to pin point exactly--the WG utility man would be the best way to describe it since I'm doing a bit of everything on and off the farm.
Rewind a bit: I was traveling in South America when I decided to come back to the beautiful NW summer....and just in time to fill in the giant hole Misty left by traveling to costa rica in July. (Hmmmmmmm, maybe she was more intelligent by leaving the chaos of peak farm season, than I was by jumping into it.)
Although initially the transition here during these crazy summer weeks was a challenge-- probably since I had been living the easy life for so long--I've survived the dive into the deep end, and now it honestly feels good to be exhausted after an honest day's work. It is also refreshing to work outside in such a beautiful area of the earth.
If you have been to the University District Market and/or West Seattle
markets as of late, you probably have seen me. (Im the guy climbing around, over , and under the tables to make sure our display looks as beautiful as the food we grow. I've also made 2 appearances at Bellevue and 1 at the Lake City Festival. Mostly I'm on the farm working to get the finist berries, haricot verts, shelling peas, romano beans, and sugar snap peas, etc. to our faithful customers.
In the next few weeks I will make occasional appearences at the markets again, this time with the objective of promoting our winter CSA program. So if I happen to put a pamphlet into your hands, please introduce yourself to me.
Ate Logo (literally "until soon",
Michael
