I like everything all together. I like the fact that it’s a cooperative. I like working with my hands and I like physical labor. Everybody’s paid the same wage no matter how long you’ve been working at the Cheeseboard. Even though I’m one of the newest people there – I’ve only been there two years – I still have all of the rights, responsibilities and privileges as somebody who’s been there for 30 or 40 years. Everybody is valued equally and we operate by consensus, but we all make decisions collectively. We’re always trying to work together to make the decision work for everybody. So we reach unanimity on almost every decision.
