I have worked at the Grain Train Natural Foods Co-op since 2004 and I currently fill the role of Owner Services and Outreach. I get to do cool things like hang out at the Farmer's Market every week for the summer and teach people the importance of supporting co-ops and local producers. My time at the co-op has given me the opportunity to meet many of the farmers that supply the co-op, and ultimately my fridge and pantry. I spend most of my free time volunteering, I serve on the Board for the Grain Train and Farming for our Future, which teaches people their connection to food and where it came from. I also spend free time baking ridiculous cakes, sewing, reading, gardening, and scouring resale shops and yard sales for unique fabrics, milk glass, and vintage costume jewelry.
