For the past 8 years, we have been gardening, farm visiting, slaving in kitchens, scheming and dreaming how we could get to our own farm.
Very well paid cooks make about $15-20 per hour. Not quite enough to feed the family and save for a land purchase. We started GreenGo just over a year ago with the intention of supporting what we care about while paving the way for a farm life. The past 6 months starting the Ballard storefront have been the most intense and challenging times of our lives. Establishing systems and pars from scratch, without the "normal" templates or procedures of a traditional restaurant. Now we finally feel like we have the systems in place, we're meeting goals and steadily growing. We're receiving validation from the community. We know we're on the leading edge of the curve with our concept.
We would really like to find some people who share our values and would continue our mission. We'd like to find the right people to work the remainder of the summer, learn the process, then take over.

This news fills me with sadness. I wish you the best of luck and we will miss you. I'm sorry we never got there enough, since we moved out of Ballard in January, but we thank you for what you have done and if there is anything we can do to help, please let us know.
