Welcome back to our regularly scheduled program!
For those who are just joining JFF on our journey Welcome! For our longtime supporters, hello again, and welcome back!
It's been a little bit since the last blog post that introduced Just For Fun Farms, but I figured that since some new people may have joined us since then, and wanted to give a full introduction to not only myself but everyone who encompasses JFF from founder to head of management and head of marketing.
Founder and owner of Just For Fun Farms
I love growing food and sharing it with others. I started Just For Fun Farms in my dorm room sophomore year when I was exploring ways I could practice my love for agriculture year-round. Microgreens worked great for my small set up and I grew my first microgreens under my lofted dorm bed.
As an entrepreneur and urban farmer, I manage all aspects of the business from harvesting to business development and building relationships with other Local Businesses.
Fun fact - I ate cow hooves before - they were definitely something new!
Head of Customer Relations & Success
With nearly six years in the food industry, I've worn many hats- from working at a local bakery and ice cream parlor to bussing, hosting, and eventually managing a restaurant. Through it all, one thing has remained constant: my passion for connecting with people.
When the opportunity to join Just For Fun Farms arose, I knew it was the perfect fit. I love building relationships, creating meaningful experiences, and ensuring our customers feel valued with every interaction.
Fun Fact: I successfully completed a Pokemon speed run (it took 9 hours).
Head of Marketing and Social Media Administrator
Last but not least myself, from a very young age I was ingrained in eating well and in a way clean living. Growing up in Chicago, connecting with the city and the various small businesses within the food industry also stuck with me. When I had the chance to work with Owen and Margo and help out with the growth of the business, I jumped at the chance, especially being a marketing major and getting to do some actual marketing.
While this is the first official position I have had, I have been connected with food and small businesses for many years. I hope to bring a personal touch to all the content sent out and made to promote Just For Fun Farms. I am excited to build more of the community around the farm up more and see familiar faces and get to see some new ones!
Fun Fact: I have traveled to Morocco four times now
With that, there is a reintroduction to the brand new team at Just For Fun Farms. We are excited to hear any feedback so leave a comment, like, and spread the word about JFF!
Blogs will also be coming back! Every other week from when this first blog has posted there will be a blog post pertaining to the business, Microgreens, or even some viewer interests related to the business.
Best wishes and thank you for your continued dedication and support or JFF!
