“When we wake up in the morning, the conditions can look completely different and it is not unusual that I change my mind several times a day depending on the circumstances. Everything happens in the now.”
Being a grower means an incredibly varied job where the big perspective is combined with daily challenges, current social issues and the weather. It requires an enormous presence in daily operations. Milutin says his superpower is to not give up and, in cases where they encounter challenges, they resolve them quickly and efficiently. And they ask for help.
– If we need help, there are people we can turn to regardless of what it is about. Cultivation, logistics, etc. At the same time, we have to be present daily and plan and solve on the spot. Prioritizing work and making quick decisions is very important. You can always make a great plan about where we are going, but at the same time it is not possible to have long-term plans. When we wake up in the morning, the conditions can look completely different and it is not unusual that I change my mind several times a day depending on the circumstances. Everything happens in the now, says Milutin.
When it comes to the larger perspective of a sustainable planet, Milutin says that they try to make sure that they see to the available resources and use these as little as possible. In this way they can achieve a result that is as sustainable as possible with good and healthy vegetables.
– We have invested in a solar cell plant and are trying to save as much energy and resources as possible and at the same time grow amazing produce. It’s the small details that make the difference.
