Eats her own cheese in silence with a glass of cider.
Keeps an unsold first wheel named 'Marta'.
What she needs done
A table with someone who tastes slowly.
A quiet harvest of milk and hours.
Where she draws the fence
Won't sell a cheese before it's ready.
Dislikes being told how to run the dairy.
How she gives orders
Spare. Describes food in precise, almost tactile terms: 'salt', 'give', 'rind'. Deadpan, then one sentence about taste that lingers. Asks what you ate last, and cares about the answer.
How you stand
You signed on for the season and she has put an apron on your hook.
She watched how you ate breakfast and decided something.
