Farmers Market with the GM

Town & Country Club6. Staff Management

BackgroundOur Club emphasizes locally sourced and organic food. We grow some of our own produce, but also supplement much of it from our local farmers markets. Sustainability is an important cause in our community and we expect our staff be educated on the process and share their knowledge with members.

ChallengeTo provide a fun and interesting way to educate employees on our food sources and encourage their involvement and support of our local sourcing of flowers, produce and other foods.

SolutionShop the farmers market with the GM. Periodically throughout the year, staff members are invited to go with the GM, Vincent Tracy to the local farmers market. Employees enjoy breakfast with the GM and are given shopping lists from the Chef. The staff then spends time shopping the market for produce, both for their personal use and to bring back to the Club. They also purchase fresh flowers from the market to use throughout the Club.

ResultsThe farmers market with the GM is well attended and provides a fun, educational experience for employees. They return to the Club with a smile, a full belly and a better understanding of local food sourcing!
