When the produce industry gets hairy
January 6, 2021
Last year showed us that working from home during a pandemic can be pretty tricky, with dinner table desks and new responsibilities to juggle. While some officemates made the workday harder to get through, these four-legged friends help spread the joys of Caturday and Sundog throughout the work week.
Staying in touch can be a real challenge with travel restrictions and limited networking opportunities. Keep an eye out for your industry friends and colleagues — and have a little fun in the process — with our Sightings: Face to Face with the Produce Industry series. Be sure to get yourself out there as well by submitting a photo of yourself and your pet to [email protected].
