[dropcap]H[/dropcap]i friends! My name is Hallie Burt… and it’s true! I am lucky enough to be Brian and Ruth’s daughter. Needless to say, I was always well fed (mmmm fresh veggies!). I am also the wholesale vegetable ordering coordinator. For those of you who know me and those who don’t I just wanted to pop into this musings section and tell you a little bit about what I do for the greenhouse.
[dropcap]I[/dropcap] have been involved with my parent’s business since I was a little kid running 
around with muddy bare feet and fancy dresses, witnessing all the moving parts of a large scale greenhouse operation. I am really proud of the work that we do, the products we sell, and our dedication to environmentalism. Perhaps I didn’t grasp all of that as a child, but I definitely appreciate and respect my folk’s business values very much as an adult. Just ask my dad about our heating system or biological pest control and you will find yourself in a passionate discussion for hours!
[dropcap]S[/dropcap]o, what do I do at Burt’s? Every week we deliver (delicious!) veggies to the Kingston and Ottawa areas. My job is to coordinate and support our wholesale customers with their orders, to ensure they are getting what they want in time for delivery. Orders placed by Monday at noon are shipped on Thursday. Customers have the opportunity to order online or through me! I do, however, encourage folks to login and order through the website, as it
provides wholesale pricing and up-to-date availability. This often saves some back and forth. I am available by e-mail to answer questions, so if you are a current customer or you are interested in becoming one, please feel free to e-mail me anytime at veggie@burtsgh.com.
[dropcap]C[/dropcap]urrently I am living in Halifax, Nova Scotia, studying to become a social worker. Thanks to the modern age I am able to work with all of you remotely! It is such a pleasure to work with my parent’s and their lovely customers from afar. Seriously, I think we have the best customers in the world. I really enjoy communicating with everyone and I try to make the process as simple as possible. Hope to speak with you soon. And if you are ever in Halifax, come say hi!
