Silas Wood

Tell us a bit about your background and how it helped shape the expertise you bring to CAE. 
I grew up on a small goat farm in Craftsbury VT, at the end of a class four road and have always been surrounded by hardworking and down to earth people. I love jobs that let me work with my hands and need a good attention to detail. Before I came to CAE I worked as part of a close knit warehouse crew for an online farmer’s market, where I received, sorted, packed, and shipped a wide range of locally grown and produced food!

What excites you about your work and/or the work of CAE?
My job can be challenging and exhausting, but I have a lot of fun doing it knowing I’m part of a team that always has each other’s back. I love supporting small farms and local businesses, and it’s always satisfying to see food move from farms I know to the stores where I shop!

What brings you joy? (work or otherwise)
I love to go barefoot! Nothing is better than sinking your feet in the dirt on a nice sunny day 🙂

What brings you hope? (work or otherwise)
Being part of a community that can laugh and be free together. Sometimes hope can be hard to find, but good company always makes it easier.
