**Time Management**: The ability to prioritize tasks, manage appointments, and meet deadlines is essential for keeping everything running smoothly.

**Customer Service Skills**: The ability to interact positively with customers, handle inquiries, and resolve issues can significantly impact the reputation and success of the business.

**Financial Literacy**:A basic understanding of financial tasks such as budgeting, invoicing, and managing expenses can be incredibly beneficial for keeping the business on track.

**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.
