If I were to briefly summarize my experience as Operations Manager, I would say I was a jack-of-all-trades employee, capable of performing all tasks necessary to run a farm-to-table business. Fresh to Morrow is a small operation and if there was any job that needed to be addressed, it was up to me to get it done. My weekly schedule while working for Fresh to Morrow included working on the farm and tending the fields, processing vegetables into various food products, prepping meals for our seasonal menu, and cooking for and serving our customers during hours of operation.
As Operations Manager at Fresh to Morrow, I was heavily involved in all aspects of the farm-to-table business. I had ample experience in organic farming in this position, where I ensured our fresh produce could be used effectively in both kitchen and market settings, under the Fresh to Morrow business model. Having this duality mindset of knowing how produce should be harvested, handled, and processed by farmers, as well as how chefs and vendors use produce, gave me a detailed and overarching understanding of how sustainable agriculture functions across all fields of operation.
As a café manager, I was responsible for performing various tasks involving customers and food preparation. My strong interpersonal skills allowed me to provide excellent customer service and build long-lasting relationships with regular clientele. My knowledge of basic food service health regulations allowed me to excel in the kitchen setting, where I performed numerous food processing and cooking tasks.
