Like I said, I’ll give you a call in the morning and we’ll make a plan. I’m a little nervous, because I’ve never been the head chef of a kitchen before…” Like I said, I’ll give you a call in the morning and let you know…” “No man, just come out we’ll just do some work and go from there.
So, is there going to be an interview or something?” “Oh, you will give me a ride? I think my mom was planning on coming too, so she could see it. “…Yeah dude, how about I just call you tomorrow once we have our plan, and we’ll get you a ride out to the farm.” He was motivated, and we were in it for the long haul. By the third call I broke down and answered, in spite of my 100% certainty that I’d never actually given him my number. I shot him a quick email and told him to get in touch.Īnd he did, later that evening, leaving a lengthy voicemail and calling three more times in rapid succession. There was an indefinable hilariousness in the interaction, crystalizing only when he informed us that he is still in high school. And we’re looking for someone who can cook up a lot of the vegetables we’re growing through the season, and make something awesome for us out of them.” You think you could cook for like 20 people?” “So yeah, we are looking for someone to cook meals for us a couple days a week, in exchange for a CSA share. I got into some details about worker share options, to farm in exchange for veggies, eventually making it around to our lunch share option, when his eyes lit up a bit. The university was shutting down for the summer his dining services position would be on hold, and he needed some summer work. He informed us, with endearing and slightly off-putting bluntness, that he would like to work for us. I jumped into our schpeel - we’re a cooperative farm we’ve pooled our resources and time together, bought 35 acres, yada yada yada. Fanni, Ella and I were in the greenhouse on Friday afternoon, seeding some lettuce heads, when we were approached by this dude.įrom this early juncture, it was obvious that this was a special dude, and I had an immediate soft spot for him.
