Another year has come and gone. How did that happen? It appears that time flies ever faster - we only hope that we will continue to have something to show for it, now and in the future.
But in case you're feeling like you don't, here's a piece of advice that has helped us over the years. Someone once recommended that instead of making sweeping New Year's resolutions, we make a top 10 list of individual things that we wanted to do in the new year (as opposed to those difficult-to-hold-yourself-to recurring goals, like writing every single person that you know on their birthday for the whole year).
We've put small things (like reading a certain book, writing a letter to someone you haven't seen in years, or eating at a particular restaurant) and large things (like running a marathon, quitting our jobs, and starting a business) on our list. But you'd be amazed at how accomplished (and enriched) you feel when you can cross something off the list, be it small or large. It certainly beats feeling guilty about not going to the gym three times a week for the entire year.
In case you want some inspiration, here's a preview of some of the items on our list this year:
-
Build a vermaculture (worms!) composter
-
Construct an outdoor wood-fired oven
-
Make croissants from scratch with the Tartine Bread book recipe
What's on your list?
Cheers,
Taylor & Dorothy

Katie Yanchuck
Marketing & Sales Coordinator
Sweet Stem Farm
At GFJ we're all about being proactive, and Katie's just the type of good food job holder that we like to see! She emailed us in tandem with a recent job that Sweet Stem Farm posted (http://goodfoodjobs.com/jobs/8379/farm-foreman.html) which led to a conversation, which led to us featuring her on the blog. It goes to show you that you never know who you will meet or what you will learn until you start initiating conversations. So in case you're scoping out New Year's Resolutions, you may just want to follow in Katie's footsteps and write that email. You never know what will come of it. Read More
