The Lite Work Farm

Beautiful mushrooms

Mushroom magnificence. Stock your produce drawer.

These folks are great. I love their mixed carton of mushrooms and always grab some when I'm at the Wrightsville Beach Farmers market.

I have bought mushrooms from lite work farms several times at the downtown market and the one by satellite, (there was a different gentleman at the satellite booth) my qualms are with the downtown booth. I was literally mid conversation with the man, discussing what I made last time for dinner, and he was telling me what he made for dinner similarly. I then inquired about the carton of mushrooms I was going to buy, he was telling me the price when another person came up to the booth and he completely switched gears over to the customer who just arrived. He sold them all the mushrooms they wanted, while I just stood there silently as he completely just stopped the business transaction between myself and him and moved on to the person that just approached the booth. When he completed the sale he looked at me and said "hey, How can I help you?" Like we didn't even have a conversation! To me, bad customer service. I felt so uncomfortable, ignored, I wasn't sure what to do. Should I have just walked away and not completed my purchase? We were literally having a conversation and i was getting ready to buy a carton of mushrooms from him and then he completely ignored me to help somebody else then acted like we were not having a conversation. I felt so small, ignored and uncomfortable. I'm not even sure I want to go back just because of this one incident even though they do have great mushrooms. So that sucks...
