I was supposed to attend a very important workshop on Wednesday that would teach me how to price my produce for market. I was excited about it for weeks, because I've never felt very professional when it came to pricing my produce, and this might give me the confidence I needed. We're supposed to do a market at Greensgrow in Kensington this season, along with a few household shares on the side, and I've yet to work out all the fine details of either of those operations. I also recently called up a chef I used to work for to see if he might want to buy some micro greens that we aren't even really sure if we're growing yet. Needless to say, I need to attend a workshop about pricing produce for market. But when I came home from work on that gorgeous, sunny Wednesday afternoon, all of my housemates were out back drinking beers and eating Pringles and playing beer pong by the fire.
Now, I'd never played beer pong before...
I hope those were grassfed, free range Pringles! (or green?!?)
ReplyDeleteHa! Sadly, no. But I did stick to the Original "recipe" which, with its small bits of maltodextrin and dextrose, was more straightforward than the sour cream and onion and bbq style formulas.
ReplyDeleteSaint Patrick is famous for his intelligence, leadership, and capacity to lead people through difficulties. In academic work, students also require guidance, particularly when conducting complicated research. That is where thesis writing help in dubai students by providing clear research procedures and well-structured writing for academic achievement.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a really thoughtful and brilliant post! Connecting St. Patrick's Day to seasonal, sustainable choices really breathes new life into a holiday. The idea of celebrating with the locals rather than through imports is inspiring as well as quite practical. The focus on cabbage and maybe other garden veggies is a good reminder that there is an abundance close to home. Thank you for instructing your readers to think about their food traditions even more deliberately!
ReplyDeleteSometimes, the best-laid plans take a back seat to unexpected moments of community and sunshine. Skipping the workshop might not have been the most professional choice, but the experience reflects the balance many small growers navigate between hustle and human connection. Just like running a farm requires both planning and flexibility, choosing the right gear like leather gloves Toronto means being ready for both hard work and the unpredictability of the season, all while staying grounded in what really matters.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautifully honest and relatable post! It’s funny how life throws those little temptations our way right when we're on the verge of doing something important. That struggle between responsibility and spontaneity is so real. Your excitement about becoming more confident in pricing produce really stood out—it reminds me of how every profession has its own version of that journey. Just like farmers and growers need the right tools and knowledge to succeed, so do other industries. For instance, in my line of work, offering a professional security service means constantly learning, training, and staying prepared, even when it’s easier to relax. Wishing you all the best with Greensgrow and the micro greens adventure—hope you get another shot at that workshop!
