Schulz Shorts: Jarrod Ward, Schulz Farmers Marketeer

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

I wake up very early in the morning twice a month and fill a truck with delicious Schulz products to sell at various farmers’ markets around Melbourne. 

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

Oh no, I wouldn’t inflict such a movie on the world! 

What is your favourite thing to make with Schulz Products? 

It definitely has to be pasta with herbed quark. 

Tell us your favourite customer story from the Farmers Markets.

An annual customer always inquires if we sell soy milk, which is always entertaining. 

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

Assuming this is inanimate objects: Dostoyevsky novel, violin and an aeroplane.

What keeps you busy outside of working at the Schulz Farmers Markets?

My family, especially our two-year-old boy. This will become even busier in January with another boy due. I’ve also been studying for my Masters in Landscape Architecture for the past few years, which I’m looking to finish. 

What’s the best thing about getting up early for the markets? 

Seeing the sunrise during the warmer months. 


What is your go-to knock off drink? 

A dark beer like a stout or a porter.
