Huge thank you to the farm staff

This week I’m throwing a HUGE shout out to the on farm staff at Miller’s Biodiversity Farm!

It’s been crazy on the farm. But, the staff have risen to the challenge of supplying food to double the usual demand. 

• They are working longer hours and sacrificing sleep. 
• They are quickly hiring and training new staff. 
• They are creating new systems of efficiency on the farm. 
• They fearlessly dove into providing fresh produce. 
• They are increasing production.
• They are working with meat processors to send animals almost every week and keep meat in stock (except chicken, which won’t be ready until the end of May).
• They are re-working routes and delivering more often.
• They are putting major effort into making sure supplies are stocked in advance.
• They are keeping customers updated with any changes that may occur.
• They are helping newbies get acquainted with a new way to buy groceries.

I mean, come on, that’s dedication, loyalty, and hard work. In my eyes, they are heroes.

There are likely more challenges ahead, and the farm staff will take them on as they come. They are committed to problem solving and working through any hurdles that come their way. They are dedicated to making sure your food access remains as steady as possible.

If you’d like to pass a message of appreciation to the farm staff, please do!

I will print all submissions out for the farm staff this Monday 5/4.

I’d also like to give a few more shout outs to our drivers, the UPS workers, our group leaders, our printer, and the companies we work with to purchase supplies. 

We are not an autonomous unit and rely on outside support to get you your food. We would not be able to continue onward without their dedication.

Oh… and thank you, too!!! You know, the farm wouldn’t be here with your ongoing support and enthusiasm for real small farm food.

It’s you that’s supporting this alternative food system. The more people we get on board, the more secure our food future is.
