Farming Hope is one of the most racist places I've ever done a culinary apprenticeship at!!! The…read morelevel of unprofessionalism and micro aggression and micro management that you get from the chefs and admin is horrible. Chef Derek is a huge micro aggressor and he will sit there and condescend you for things you're doing and try to praise you like you're a puppy later. Itzel and Yazmin in admin don't really want the best for you or place you into a job after the internship. Theres also proof of Itzel in admin talking bad about her colleague Yazmin & others Chris in HR is very rude and disrespectful. Chef Augustine is also very racist, definitely sexist, and he really only caters to his Spanish speaking folks, despite being bilingual and speaking English perfectly fine. He thinks it's OK to bump into people like me and not have to apologize or anything. You do not work along culinary teachers who teach you things... You learn how to chop an onion five different ways. It's very basic so don't let the ads for you you guys!! There Were no recruiters coming through to hire like they claim there would be, they also don't have a good wellness or HR team. Just beware that farming hope leaves you feeling hopeless and helpless & they only make these ads look nice for funding.

The idea is that once you can see things from each other's points of view and start to unobjectify each other, it becomes easier (less agitated) to talk about the problem and to figure out a mutually beneficial solution in a collaborative way. Simple concept, but like many things, harder to realize. After observing the conflict resolution techniques in action a few times, it seems more doable each time as I understand the process better. I learned a lot from CB about conflict resolution techniques. Also how to be a better listener. Very useful as conflicts are part of life and handling them well can build relationships. CB also provides training to schools, and to people interested in learning mediation. More information about this on CB's web site. Low-cost mediation by professionals is also available.

My network of nonprofits/community-based-organizations was blacklisted from receiving donations, because of a minor issue with the building maintenance staff.

The founder (Mary Risley) is no longer acting in the best interest of the company, and should step down. The dispatch manager (Tessa) is two-faced and unprofessional. Do not do business with this company.

Intersection's recent move, from Valencia Street to downtown's Chronicle building, finds them…read morebecoming "Intersection 5M", a collaboration of groups in nearby spaces, all working to create social change. Or something like that. I recently attended the new Intersection for the culmination of a storytelling class where each student was showcased on stage for their 10 minutes of fame. Lots of fun for both the students and the audience in this comfortably informal environment. Intersection feels like the red-headed stepchild of "Yerba Buena Center for the Arts" and "The Marsh". Their programming is YBCA-lite, offering simlar artsy fare on a smaller scale and budget. They move into Marsh territory by sprinkling in a few classes and providing a venue that still gives you no reason to dress up for your big night out. I've enjoyed the events I've attended at Intersection but, like YBCA, I infrequently find anything amongst their programming that compels me to attend. Lucky for them, that doesn't seem to matter. They've been around for more than 40 years now, even weathering the recent economic woes which laid to rest many other well-established arts organizations. If there's an offering that appeals, keep 'em around for another 40+, and go check out Intersection.

There were some amazing deals on art by folks like Matt Gonzalez and Andrew Shoultz, and Intersection doesn't attract a huge bidding crowd, so it's the place to be once a year. It turns my friend is a compulsive bidder, as in, I need to send him to Bidders Anonymous. I may not though, just because it was so much fun following someone around who will throw down a few hundos for cool pieces. The live auction part was my fave -- he almost got a piece by Binh Danh for a steal! I've only been to Intersection for the Arts a couple of times, but the place has a distinct chill vibe with absolutely no pretension. They seem to be really devoted to addressing the issues of their neighborhood too. I went to see a play there through their Prison Project, and while not amazing, it was admirable. With a black box theater and a gallery space upstairs, rotating plays and art shows, it's a place I'll return to again, fo shizzle.

Let me tell you, this man is a walking encyclopedia of photography! And all other things too, turns out. Let's just say he knows what he's doing! Detail oriented doesn't even cover it, he will notice things you never would and quietly make it all better without making a big deal out of it. What surprised me most was how natural and comfortable the whole thing felt. It was quick, easy, and I genuinely forgot I was being photographed at some point, which I think is the highest compliment you can pay a photographer. Eddie is also just a great person to talk to. 10/10. Would let Eddie photograph my face again without hesitation.

We purchased our very first piano from here at the beginning of the pandemic. We figured that…read moresince we'd be staying home more often, why not purchase a real piano!? We made an appointment to come in and Ulysses helped us out. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and helped us through the process. He didn't rush us or pressure us to buy a piano, and he was patient in answering all our questions. We went home that same day to think about which piano we wanted to get and returned a week later to purchase a Yamaha upright piano. Overall, it was a great experience and we now have a beautiful piano!

Update: Gary responded to this review... and then deleted his response a day later…read more After reading it, I actually understand and respect the appointment-only business model. If customers want a private showroom experience, that's completely reasonable. Plenty of luxury businesses operate that way. The problem was never the appointment policy. The problem was how a potential customer was treated. I live next door and have been curious about this store for a long time. I finally saw you at the business and thought I'd ask about purchasing a piano. Instead of a simple, "We're appointment-only, but here's my card--I'd be happy to schedule you," I was dismissed while you waited for your DoorDash order. As someone who works in marketing and customer experience, this felt like a textbook example of turning a warm lead into a lost customer. Your original response then spent paragraphs explaining why I shouldn't have expected service, but not one sentence expressing regret that a genuinely interested buyer walked away with a bad experience. That said, I'm adjusting this to a 2-star rating because I did see some effort to acknowledge my post, even if it ultimately fell short. Businesses don't earn loyal customers by proving they're technically correct. They earn them by making people feel welcome. A 30-second conversation could have turned me into a customer. Instead, it turned me into someone who will be buying a piano elsewhere. If you already have an appointment, I'm sure the experience may be perfectly fine. But if you're hoping to stop in, ask a question, or get a feel for the place before committing, don't expect much hospitality. That's ultimately why I'm leaving this review--not because the business is appointment-only, but because customer service begins long before the appointment ever does.

Happy to report you, that the venue is fully accessible. Inside are many updates & building seems well-maintained. We were escorted in to a formal room on second floor, w/round tables & Fall decorations. The doors to the Green Room were open, letting the sunshine in. Bright room with floor to ceiling windows & curtains. Seated & served 150 guests from 2-3:30pm and second seating later (4:30-6pm. Again with another 150 guests ;-) We sat closest to the window. What a view looking out the floor to ceiling windows. The autumnal feast was catered from Mollie Stone's. The full Thanksgiving meal was turkey w/all the fixings, and a nice helping of pumpkin pie to finish! Delicious food! We enjoyed visiting & meeting friends at the table. Can we talk? Oh yes, we talked a lot and spoke of gratitude & love. Lovely, lovely Feast! We thank Open House, Visa, Google, Gielead and rest of sponsors, whose names escape me (Sorry!) Thank you all to; the catering, service staff, set up crews & outside volunteers - You made everyone happy.

Their funding should be held until they get their act together.
