**Creativity and Innovation**:Coming up with new ideas for products, marketing strategies, or ways to improve efficiency can drive the business forward.

**Sustainability Knowledge**: For a farm focused on sustainability, understanding sustainable practices and how to implement them in various aspects of the business is a plus.
