4/19/08 Greenmarket/Sam Irwin

I arrived at the greenmarket with Sophie and was ready to work.  I was assigned to a woman named Ellie.  Ellie ran a goat cheese stand and business was crazy as soon as I arrived.  I could not find work to do while she was helping all of the customers.  So finally when it quieted down, she told me what I could do.  The first thing I was assigned to do was to walk her dog, which ended quite quickly, then I ran some errands for her.  After I completed these simple tasks, I was requested to replace the cheese that was to taken every time that it was taken, which was not that often.  She told me how she was different from other stands, and I learned more about goats.  I learned that goats should not be fed as cows are, they should be fed dandelions, and weeds.  They are raised in an calm environment, and they are treated with great care.
