The Delightful Retro Greenhouse Signs

Does anyone else love the little signs that tell you how much of each produce to take per share at the greenhouse on Saturday mornings? They give the greenhouse an old-fashioned general store feel while still looking thoroughly modern. And they are easy to understand and hard to misinterpret—at least I think so!

I’ve always liked hand-lettered signs (my dad worked as a sign painter for many years, and I’m impressed by anyone who can letter well). The signs on Saturday morning are a perfect example of clear and concise communication, but with an eye toward the aesthetic too.

Kudos to Michael Frazier, Packout Team Leader, for his lovely lettering as well as for his great team leadership. We lucked out having a graphic designer as this team leader.

And while I’m at it, thanks to everyone who has been working on the packout team, both shifts, for the past month. Things have been running very smoothly. It’s a lot of work getting the produce clean and displayed nicely in time for pickup, and then handling the questions and clean up and other chores involved during pickup. Good job, folks!
