Versatile and dedicated, I've built a strong work ethic through hands-on experience as a construction laborer for my father's business. Watching him manage operations at Leo DeVries Construction, specializing in concrete work and metal roofs, I gained valuable insights into business operations and the importance of diligence. Transitioning to roles at Eastern Shipbuilding Group, I further honed my problem-solving and mechanical maintenance skills. Now, as the Farmer, Entrepreneur, and CEO of DeVries Farms Health Foods, I apply these lessons daily to ensure operational excellence and customer satisfaction.
As an Organic Microgreens Farmer selling at farmers markets, I am responsible for planting, maintaining, and harvesting microgreens in a controlled environment to ensure optimal growth. I dehydrate and process microgreens into powder form, manage inventory, and set up and operate a stall at farmers markets. I engage with customers, providing product information, and handle sales transactions while promoting products through social media. Additionally, I maintain accurate records and ensure compliance with organic certification standards, consistently delivering excellent customer service and building a loyal customer base.
