Today our VCAL Literacy students were joined by chef, dairy farmer, tourism tour operator and entrepreneur, Anne Rosolin as they learn about real life issues and potential career opportunities. Anne described her pathway from growing up on a self sufficient beef farm, through secondary school, where she was told that she would fail, to Gordon Technical College, to travelling and working overseas as a farmer and chef, then becoming a dairy farmer and now as a tourism operator. She outlined that these varied experiences helped shape her and that it was important to take opportunities as they presented themselves. She discussed her holistic approach to life, the farm and hobbies and the considered decision to add the new business to provide a diversified income stream. Her current role combines food, dairy and tourism which are elements that Anne enjoys and are combined in her new business Great Ocean Road Paddock 2 Plate Farm Tours. Anne regaled the class with examples of her experiences and the kinds of encounters she wants to provide for her guests including making scones and butter, experiencing seasonal life on the farm and enjoying produce from local food artisans. What an interesting and creative local businesswoman! Comments are closed.
