Schulz Shorts: Jessica Beer

Tell us what you do at Schulz in 25 words or less.

My day’s usually consist of drinking coffee, eating Hila’s (Schulz Organic Creamery and Cafe chef’s) pastries, keeping Simon on the straight and narrow and facilitating all the fun team projects at work like cheese tastings and gin tastings.

If someone was making a movie about your life, who would you want to play you?

I’d like to say Isla Fisher, but my colleague Jacqui would say Gumby, because I’m so flexible.

How do you have your coffee?

Irish when Simon’s not looking, otherwise black, or with Schulz Full Cream Milk, sometimes in a shot over ice cream – depends what mood I'm in.

Do you scoop out the cream on top of Schulz Organic Full Cream milk, or shake it through?

I give my bottle a semi shake so I still get a sneaky dollop or two 😉

If you were stranded on a desert island what three things would you take with you? 

Gin, a book and a masseuse. 

Tell us what gets you most excited about working at Schulz Organic Dairy?

My favourite anecdote of life is from the Lion King: “...you need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures; from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope.
Young Simba: But, Dad, don't we eat the antelope? Mufasa: Yes, Simba, but let me explain. When we die, our bodies become the grass. And the antelope eat the grass. And so, we are all connected in the great Circle of Life.”

What would your last meal be?

Mushroom burger (and fries). 

What is your go-to knock off drink? 

A locally made gin or glass of wine.

What keeps you busy out of life on the Schulz farm?

Wrangling my four year old and two year old toddler boys and my bigger version of a toddler, aka my husband.
