Ray's Family

As far as summer jobs go, Ray’s Family Farm is the best thing I could have asked for. Anyone who has worked there for multiple years will say the same thing. It’s not solely the line of work, the people, or the experience and knowledge you gain; it is the entire chemistry of the place that makes it so enjoyable. Ray’s Farm is a second home to me. Although not everyone who works there is literally related, we are still family.

I was a freshman in High School when I started working there - six years ago now. Around that time, a few other girls got hired. We were all around the same age, close to the same years in school, and so in many ways, we grew up together. Now that we are in college and some of us have traveled away for school, a younger group of girls were hired. It’s interesting to see their relationships developing, past the initial co-worker level, the way that ours once did. 
 

Throughout all the disorganization and chaos that sometimes inhibits the farm stand, as co-workers, we work like a well-oiled clock. It doesn’t matter your age, likes or dislikes, when you work together at Ray’s, you are family.
