Meet the Farm Crew: Eric

Eric is another "jack of all trades, master of none" (his words, not ours!) employee at the farm. He started as a tractor driver in the fall of 2015 (the first year we opened in the new barn) driving the kiddie wagon and out to the pumpkin patch.

Since then, he's used his jack of all trades status to help with a variety of projects and jobs on the farm, like helping transform the old garage Kyle bought at auction into our bridal suite; cleaning and setting up for events; bartending during weddings; the person behind our (shhhhhhh...) Easter Bunny and Santa Claus; and even shooting off a few pumpkins during fall season every now and then! With the exception of helping in the kitchen, he's pretty much done it all. Even though his job description doesn't always match what he really ends up doing on his shift, Eric rolls with the punches and enjoys his time out at the farm. "Maybe that's the secret of Vesperman Farms," he laughs, "Everyone is willing to do anything we can to help make our customer experience a good one."

In his non-farm life, this employee is a homebody and a town loyal. He grew up in Lancaster and currently teaches tech ed at the high school, a position he's dreamt about since he was in college at UW-Platteville. He's happy in this town, loves teaching at his old high school, and spends a lot of time with his family, wife and kid (the "kid" part is soon to be plural, with his second on the way this July!), and dogs. You may recognize the brown dog - Maret makes frequent appearances on our Facebook page and Eric is often responsible for persuading her to pose for our never-ending photos.

In his free time, Eric is a woodworker who loves to create anything from cutting boards to kid's toys to built-in bookshelves. He's an experimenter more than an expert (he says he's made things that make great firewood), but he enjoys the challenges and rewards and lessons learned from every project. Much like his attitude out here on the farm, when it comes to his hobbies, the experience is just as rewarding as the end result.

Eric truly enjoys his many roles out on the farm, especially because he gets to share their excitement about a family trip to the pumpkin patch or a big celebration like a wedding. "Being able to be a part of their experiences is what I love most about working at Vesperman Farms," he says. His enthusiasm and love for our customers makes us happy to have Eric "wood chip" in - in any role!

Are you sure his last name isn’t Vesperman. We ( the Vesperman ) learned a lot from Grandpa (Donald) and from our Dad’s. Either Bruce, Kevin, Larry, Vernon, Curt and my Dad Steve. We have all been Jacks of all trades. So he should fit right in with Kyle and Bruce and the rest on the Vesperman Farm.
