This episode features Crocker Stickney, a team member at Vertical Harvest. Here's a little bit about Crocker, in his own words: "My name is Crocker and I am a 34 year old disabled worker. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia when I was 22, and have been dealing with it ever since. I was introduced to Vertical Harvest via my sister who took a tour first and told me about the company. I have been with them for almost three years. My family live close by in Idaho, and I am a proud new uncle to an amazing nephew who makes me laugh. In my free time I enjoy movies, books and music. I consider myself fairly knowledgeable about history but also enjoy anything well written."
A few things to keep in mind while listening, from the VH team:
"Clams" are the packaging we use to sell our products. So "clamming" is getting a lot of packages ready for delivery
Jackson Hole is an area in western WY; just south of Yellowstone National Park. The greenhouse is located in Jackson - one town in the area; the main town you can say.
Driggs, ID, where his sister lives is about a 55 min drive over the Teton mountains
We grow lettuce, microgreens, and tomatoes
