“Thank you for calling Thompson Potato Farm. Christina speaking.” Today we celebrate the woman behind the voice on the phone. Although Christina doesn’t drive the tractors (yet) and she self-admittedly can kill a plant just by looking at it, she is an integral part of our team here at the farm.
She is the first contact all our customers have at the farm but she is so much more than a friendly and helpful voice on the phone. She is our Health & Safety representative, holds a valid First Aid Certificate and works hard to keep our 19 first aid boxes fully stocked. She helps with all aspects of the accounting, deals with copious amounts of paperwork for food safety and our temporary foreign workers, and is always willing to learn and try new things.
Christina is a cooking enthusiast who makes a wicked cheesecake and offers valuable ideas when I have her taste test new recipes for the website. She is a capable driver helping out whenever we need to get vehicles in for servicing. She is the default IT department for all our iPhones. She remade all our sweet corn and pumpkins signs using her crafty side. And most importantly, she keeps us organized with constant reminders of all the things we asked her to remind us we are supposed to be doing!
Christina is valued every day by all of here at the farm, not just on International Women’s Day. If you would like to see more about women in agriculture, you can visit “International Women’s Day 2021”.
