A very kind, organized, middle-aged woman does the hiring, calling, and assigning of jobs. I didn't have an interview, although some may have. The application is pretty standard, and we are required to present some alternative photo identification on the first day of work. Employees wear a white shirt, black pants, closed-toed shoes, and a red smock is provided. They live in bunk houses during the whole encampment.
Workers are all ages and of many backgrounds.
There are meetings before each meal, to make announcements and explain the menu. There are wine servers, who make a little more. Tips are not allowed. The Grove wants members to be at ease, not worry about money, they say. Food servers basically meet every need of the campers as they come to dinner, bringing special orders and any condiments.
